  • If an IRB number is entered on the Research Activity page, the system will clear the Not Yet Submitted checkbox

  • For activities that generate an email notification, the name of the person who executed the activity will be listed in the email message

  • A field has been added to the PAF to allow the CFDA (Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance) number, if known, to be entered at the time of PAF submission
