Proposal Management: Log Project Team Submission to Sponsor

Overview

All submission methods are recorded in eResearch for a proposal that has been submitted to its sponsor. When the Project Team has submitted the proposal, the recording of the submission methods are accomplished using an activity called Log Project Team Submission to Sponsor. ORSP will not be able to begin processing an award unless this activity is completed.

Important Information:

Who Can Log Project Team Submission to Sponsor: Only the U-M PI or Primary Research Administrator can complete the activity Log Project Team Submission to Sponsor.

If the Project Team has indicated on the PAF Worksheet that ORSP will submit, then ORSP will record the submission.

The Log Project Team Submission to Sponsor activity is available only under the following conditions:

  • after ORSP review and approvals have been completed
  • proposal has been finalized (uploaded one PDF of the final proposal document)
  • and the PAF/proposal in one of the following States:
    • Project Team Submission to Sponsor
    • Submitted to Sponsor
    • Negotiation in Progress
When the proposal has been in the state of Project Team Submission to Sponsor for longer than 9 days, the PI and Primary Research Administrator will receive emails at 10, 20 and 30 days as a reminder to execute the activity.
