Overview
If you cannot find a user in eResearch Proposal Management (eRPM), you can create an account for that user. If a person has logged into eRPM before, they will have the PI/Project Team role. If you need to add a person who has never logged in before, you can create an account for:
- U-M Users: A person associated with U-M.
- Non-UM Users: A person who does not have an affiliation with U-M (a Sponsored or Friend account will also need to be obtained).
Note eResearch Regulatory Management (eRRM), Proposal Management (eRPM), eRAM, and M-Inform accounts are created separately.
