Email Configuration, Tips & Recipients

• Add eresearch@umich.edu to your address book/contacts so messages are not sent to junk or spam mail.
  

Warning plain text email system users e.g., Groupwise!

• Enable html messages - because eResearch sends html messages.
  You must view as html to view links to PAFs/proposals, award documents.
  
  
• If you use Groupwise e-mail, follow the steps below. If you use another e-mail client, contact your system administrator for assistance.
• To view the current email as HTML, click the message icon at the top of the email.
• To change all incoming e-mail to HTML:
  1. Go to the Groupwise Main Mailbox.
  2. Select the "Tools" menu.
  3. Select "Options".
  4. Double click "Environment".
  5. Under the "Views" tab:
     Check "Use default views for reading.
     For "Default Read View & Font", select HTML.
  6. Click OK.
     
     
• WARNING! Forwarding an e-mail using a plain text email system breaks links to eResearch system. Instead: go to eRPM and find proposal/project/award.
  

Tips

• You cannot copy the a document link and paste it into a web browser. It will not work.
  
  
• Forwarding an e-mail message does NOT give access to eResearch - Person must be listed on the project or be a Reviewer to have access to view proposal/project/award in eResearch.

Who Receives E-mail Notifications?

eRPM generates and sends email notications for a variety of reasons.

Based on the situation/event/system activity emails are sent to:

• UM Principal Investigator & Primary Research Administrator
  E.g., proposal routed for approval, reviewer requests changes, etc.
  • You cannot turn off the option to send e-mails to a UM Principal Investigator or Primary Research Administrator.
• PAF Email Notifier for each Department
  E.g., this group will get emails when it is their department's turn to review a PAF (instead of sending e-mails to all Reviewers).
  • Reviewers & Unit Liaisons for departments can change/control who is part of this email group for each Dept ID. This does not give Review access for the department.  Reviewer or Reviewer Who Can Sign must be set-up separately.  Contact your Unit Liaison for more information.
• Selected individual using Post a Comment for the Entire Project Team
  E.g., use system to send an email to UM PI to ask them to sign PAF/Conflict of Interest Statement
