PAMDash Enhancements: March 2026
Contracts and Grants Accounting (CGA) made quarterly updates to PAMDash to make accessing extramural funding metrics easier and more intuitive.
The CGA Project and Data team have made several updates to the Proposal and Award Metrics Dashboard (PAMDash) to improve clarity and provide additional views of funding activity. These updates provide users with simplified naming conventions and additional ways to analyze funding trends within PAMDash. We are continually reviewing the data to ensure consistency and accuracy.
