Abstract
Solicitation Management System (SMS) is a system built to facilitate the 
processing of grant proposal solicitations. The SMS was first built in 2004
and was primarily used by the Office of Technology Transfer and 
Commercialization (OTTC), CSUSB for its solicitation activities. This time,
for the 2008 Solicitation, which officially opened on 28 Jan 2008, SMS was
extended and maintained to support not only OTTC, CSUSB, but also the 
Center for the Commercialization of Advanced Technology (CCAT), San Diego 
State University. This system is built with five user roles in mind. They 
are the administrator, officers, staff members, evaluators, and applicants.
The administrator creates officer member accounts; the officer creates 
staff member accounts; evaluators and applicants register themselves into 
the system.
