SharePoint Proposal Collaboration

The Office of the Vice President for Research works with the Division of Information Technology to make available a website for team proposals and collaboration.  Each multidisciplinary proposal will be given a virtual home.  Access to the project will be made available upon request.

For example, if a team of investigators will submit a proposal and need to share files, manage calendars and meetings, send postings about specific topics, etc., there will be a single electronic storage location made available to all members of the proposal team and their administrative staff.  All members of the team will be able to see who has the most recent version of a document, track changes made, add or remove files with ease, from anywhere in the world, opening more possibilities for more geographically diverse collaborations.

What is Sharepoint? WHERE CAN I GET TRAINING FOR SHAREPOINT?

Stony Brook University provides an Internet browser-based collaboration, Web-site content management, social networking, and document management system via the Microsoft Office SharePoint Server (MOSS). This system supports Web-site authoring, and collaborative sites for groups such as research teams, committees and course-related activities.

SharePoint sites can be used for non-commercial, University-related purposes such as departmental and organizational Web sites, team work spaces for committees and research teams, student organization Web sites and personal Web sites through the My Site feature.

For Training, go to https://web.stonybrook.edu/sharepoint/Pages/Welcome.aspx?MySiteView=1

How to Logon?
To log in to a SharePoint site use the following:

Username: SUNYSB.EDU\NetID
Password: NetID Password

Where "NetID" is your NetID and "NetID Password" is your NetID Password. You can find your NetID in SOLAR and set your NetID password in SOLAR using the NetID Maintenance link. The NetID is currently also used to logon to Blackboard and Libraries.

When logging in to a SharePoint site, make sure you are using a backslash ( \ ) between SUNYSB.EDU and your NetID. The backslash button is located above the Enter or Return key on your keyboard.

Quicktip: If you are logging in to Windows using the SUNYSB.EDU domain, you can avoid retyping your username and password multiple times by adding the Stony Brook SharePoint domains to your Local Intranet Zone Sites. Click on the link below that corresponds with your Web browser to view instructions on how to set your Local Intranet Zone Sites.
