UTHealth START is an enterprise level, web-based application designed to execute & manage all sponsored project activity from start to finish.
The system comprises a suite of modules, each designed to manage a specific aspect of the research project cycle. Modules currently available for use at The University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston include:
If an entity is not available in UTHealth Start, submit a Sponsor & Subcontract Request form to systemsreporting@uth.tmc.edu
Processing Time
Please note that processing sponsor and subcontractor requests usually takes 2 - 3 business days, depending on the screening/verification process.
While waiting for a new sponsor, you may select the "Default Sponsor" as a placeholder.
However, for a new subcontractor, you must wait for the subcontractor profile to be set up before you can add the subcontractor and subcontract budget information to UTHealth START. Please plan accordingly.
What can make processing take longer?
Most commonly - though not an exclusively - the following features can cause screening an entity to take longer:
All Delegate Requests Forms shall be submitted to systemsreporting@uth.tmc.edu
