About

We build the software research offices run on

Streamlyne has been working on research administration since 2003 — long enough to have watched the field's problems change, and long enough to know which ones never did.

Research administration is a field of unsung work. The proposal that got out the door on time, the protocol that cleared committee, the subaward that was actually compliant — none of it makes the press release, and all of it decides whether a research enterprise functions.

Our software covers that whole lifecycle: finding funding, developing and submitting proposals, managing awards and negotiations, running every compliance committee, and reporting on the lot. We work with leading universities, medical centres, and independent research institutions — the people doing the work, not a market segment.

Our team is software engineers, system architects, and people who have spent enough time in sponsored programs offices to know what a bad form feels like at 4pm on a deadline. We keep funding new work on the products because the alternative — shipping a system and letting it age — is how every legacy eRA suite got that way.

How we build

Four decisions that shaped the product

01

One system, one codebase

Every module we sell was built inside the same architecture. We have never bought a product and patched it into the suite, which is why an administrator who learns one module already knows the shape of the next.

02

Configurable by the people who use it

Forms, workflows, and reports are meant to be changed by your staff. A system that needs a consultant for every change is a system you pay for twice.

03

Integrations are the job, not an add-on

We were technologists before we were a software company. An eRA system that cannot talk to HR and Finance is not a system of record — it is another place to type things.

04

Priced like a partner

Institutions consistently pay significantly less with Streamlyne, and we would rather keep a customer for a decade than win a renewal negotiation.

Giving back

The field, not just the customers

We sponsor and show up at the places research administrators actually gather — NCURA, NORDP, SRAI — and we run the SPARC user community, where the people using the software tell each other what works rather than waiting for us to.

We also collect and publish research administrators' own career stories, because it is a profession most people fall into sideways and almost nobody writes about.
