Proposal Management: Acknowledge Changes

Overview

The Acknowledge activity is used to confirm that you are aware of the Proposal Approval Form (PAF) changes that have been made after your approval, and that you do not wish to suspend your prior approval.

These instructions assume that you are already logged in to eResearch Proposal Management (eRPM). If you are not familiar with the login procedure, refer to the Log in to eResearch Proposal Management.

You will receive an email notification regarding the change only if you have elected to receive notifications. Contact your Unit Liaison regarding your email notification status.
