NC State is transitioning away from PINS to use RED PD (Proposal Development). The College of Engineering will begin this transition in Spring 2026. PD is under the same umbrella as Post Award Management (PAM), Proposal Tracking (PT), and COI\/NOI in RED, which are already in use. MAE will begin the transition on March 16th. This is the first date that faculty should start using the Proposal Intake Form for new proposals. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Proposals due on March 26th or earlier will continue to be routed via PINS. <\/mark><\/strong> You can find the list of RED U courses and schedule here.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n More RED U trainings can be found on the RED Resource Hub<\/a>, under Proposal Development Training (the right hand side).<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Cycle 3 training pathways<\/a> show the recommended courses and schedule for faculty interested in learning more about the behind-the-scenes of PD. <\/p>\n\n\n\n RED PD Feedback\/Inquiries<\/a> – Smartsheet form for feedback, issues, or inquiries.
