Welcome to the Research Core Usage and Invoicing System.  This site is designed to assist you, the user of the system, with information, updates and answers to questions.

This page was created by the Office of Research Core Administration under the direction of Jay W. Fox, PhD.  We welcome all feedback as we continually strive to make the system as user-friendly, accurate, reliable and efficient as possible.

  • Unsupported browsers

  • Pop-up Blocker Information
    In order for CFUIS Order Entry receipts to be printed, your system must allow pop-ups for http://*.web.virginia.edu/. For instance, the Windows XP SP2 Pop-up Blocker, by default, blocks all pop-ups.  The solution below is specific to Windows XP SP2 Pop-up Blocker:
  • In Internet Explorer, select "Tools > Pop-up Blocker > Pop-up Blocker Settings..." from the menu.
  • In the window that appears, enter "oor.mc.vanderbilt.edu" into the "Address of Web site to allow:" field.
  • Click the "Add" button to add the CFUIS Web site to the list of sites that are allowed to create pop-ups.
  • Click the "Close" button to close the settings screen.

Most of the other available pop-up blocking applications have similar procedures to allow pop-ups for individual sites.
