Programs

Last updated: June 3, 2025

Manage and track the work being done across multiple programs in Pluto

Overview

Programs are a high-level entity in Pluto that can represent drug discovery programs in any stage or phase, as well as more generic "programs" like work being done under a particular grant, SRA, or licensing agreement. Tracking programs in Pluto allows you to create Projects under each Program and view metrics summarizing projects and experiments by Program.

Manage programs

Organization editors can manage Programs by going to the Organization settings page and clicking Programs in the left navigation:

Programs can include information such as:

  • Name - recognizable name for the program, which is shown in the Program dropdown menu when creating or editing a Project . A name might be something like

    • "Endocrine Target - Agonist"

    • "PARP inhibitor"

    • A program's internal codename

  • Account - a field for storing the funding source for the program (e.g. Internal, Sponsored, NIH, SRA)

  • Enabled team(s) - team(s) allowed to create projects under that Program

  • Start and end dates - optional dates for showing when the program is scheduled to begin and end
