A powerful space survey tool that's CFR 200 compliant

WebSpace allows department administrators to conduct a space survey as part of the F&A rate proposal development - enabling them to produce a defensible space survey that that can maximize the negotiation of F&A rates. WebSpace can also be used to meet state requirements pertaining to space information.

    Maximus offers two options for institutions to use WebSpace – license or software as a service (SaaS). The license option is ideal if your institution conducts space surveys on an annual basis and you have dedicated IT resources for system support. The SaaS option is best suited if your institution conducts space survey once every three to four years and your IT support is limited. With SaaS, we run and maintain the system, so you can focus on analyzing the survey results.
