SYS-EYFUS is an electronic system (SYS -) used by NASA Headquarters to manage research solicitation activity, plan for the receipt of research proposals, track the receipt and peer evaluation of these proposals, and manage funded research.

Home website is: http://proposals.hq.nasa.gov/proposal.cfm

PLEASE NOTE: Proposal submission is not done entirely through SYS-EYFUS. Proposals are all submitted in hard copy via postal delivery and contain all authorized signatures from BARA and the Dean's office.

The PI is the only one given access to SYS-EYFUS and only a cover page and a budget summary are transmitted via this system. PIs may obtain their password and userid through an online form at the NASA HQ website shown above.

PLEASE NOTE: NASA Fellowship Funds (Hubble, Chandra and SIRTF Fellows) may be paid to Assistant and Associate Research Scientists, as well as Researchers with the title of Postdoctoral Fellow. The guidelines for these fellowships specifically state that fringe benefits for the Fellow and his family may be charged to the award. Since this “fellowship” is awarded from a proposed course of work it does not fulfill the tax office requirements of being paid as a “stipend”, that is, without tax ramifications. Although the terminology in the AO for the Fellowships uses the words “stipend” and “postdoctoral”, NASA accepts that most institutions have other titles for recent post-PhD employees who receive full benefits. The various uses of different titles among institutions are not a limiting factor in these awards. For more information see the checklist at: http://finsys.admin.jhu.edu/tax/fellpdc_adm.htm
