Implementation Timeframe
March 30, 2009 - eResearch Proposal Management (eRPM) system will be available for investigators on all campuses to use.
Starting Summer 2009, paper Proposal Approval Form (ePAF) will be retired. The University will require everyone to use eRPM for proposal creation, routing and approval.
Unit Will Pick Date to Start Using eRPM Prior to Summer 2009
- Check with your unit on when they will require you to use eRPM.
- Your unit may or may not accept electronic submissions prior to this date.
- List of Unit Required Dates for eRPM.
Proposals March 2009 - Summer 2009
- All campuses will continue to use both eRPM & paper PAFs until Summer 2009.
- Starting March 30, you will begin to receive items for review via eRPM from other units, if you have been designated as a ‘Reviewer’ or a ‘Reviewer who can Sign (i.e., Approver)’.
- During the transition period, the rule for electronic versus paper review is as follows:
- If the administrative home of a proposal has decided to use eRPM, you must complete your review in eRPM.
- If the administrative home of a proposal has created a paper PAF, the review will still be completed on paper.
Summer 2009
- Paper ePAF retired. All PAFs must be created and routed using eRPM.
