Research proposals are vital for knowledge advancements and developing new approaches. The research proposal approval is a lengthy and stringent process. In this process, multiple stakeholders from various departments are involved. With such high stakes associated with the approval of research papers, manual workflows are inadequate. Only when research work is approved on time can research timelines be accelerated and compliance be enhanced. So, to derive maximum benefit from research work, the review and approval process must be carried out efficiently. The best way to achieve this is to adopt workflow automation with a no-code solution like Cflow. With the review and approval process automated, all research work is accurate and compliant with regulatory policies. Moreover, automated systems ensure that the requests are routed to the appropriate stakeholder for review, which accelerates the approval process and improves the coordination between teams.
