Proposal Management: Additional Help: 3.3

3.3 UM Cost Sharing Supporting Documentation

eResearch Proposal Management (eRPM) is only used to confirm cost sharing approvals. Request cost sharing outside of the eRPM system and record commitments in eRPM.

If your proposal contains UM Cost Sharing, attach any email or letters that detail the cost sharing agreement.

You can:

• Attach: Browse and attach documents.
• Upload New Version: Upload a new version of a document and keep a version history (keeps previous documents).
• View Version History: View past versions of documents and download previous versions if needed.
• Delete: Remove a document. Does not keep any version history.

Tips

• Mac users: make sure you turn on file extensions. Any file uploaded without an extension (e.g., doc) cannot be viewed by others.
• No limit on the number of documents that can be attached.
• Documents can be any file type (e.g., .ppt, .xls, . pdf, .doc).
  • The person viewing the document must have the correct program to view your attachments. For example, if someone does not have Microsoft Project he/she cannot view MS Project files (.mpp).
  • Consider uploading a lower version of file types to ensure everyone can view your document, e.g., upload .doc instead of .docx.
• Each document uploaded can be up to 268 MB.
  • If your document is more than 268 MB, you can compress or zip it to reduce its size.
