OBJECTIVE: generate a software architecture that supports the needs of an information system managing current research (CRIS) at the University of San Carlos of Guatemala (USAC). METHOD: requirements were gathered through meetings with key stakeholders in science at USAC, aiming to understand their needs and compare them with the software features of different CRIS open-source solutions. Following this, with clear requirements and met characteristics, the architecture of information systems serving as primary data sources for CRIS was built. RESULTS: the main outcome was the architectural design of all information systems forming part of a CRIS for USAC, fulfilling the university’s needs for managing research. CONCLUSION: the initial step towards adopting and implementing a CRIS system is researching the institution’s needs, then comparing them with CRIS solutions to design an architecture. It’s also crucial to note that not all architectural designs are suitable for every institution; each should have a unique information system design.
