Overview
If an Award or Award Modification requires ancillary review, COI Staff will receive an email notification from eRPM indicating the need for COI review. COI Administration Records (CARs) in M-Inform will be updated in a nightly process with Award reference information. Awards and Award Modifications awaiting review will display in the eRPM Home workspace for Ancillary Reviewers. From there, you can click on the applicable award to open the award/modification workspace.
Two separate activities are available to indicate the COI review decision: Submit COI Ancillary Review (used for RAR decisions), and Submit COI Personnel Ancillary Review (used for project/personnel COI decisions). When COI review is complete, use the appropriate activity in eRPM to submit your ancillary review.
After review, the Compliance Status meter on the award/modification workspace will indicate that the applicable review is complete. Refer to Compliance Status for more information. The Award will move to the Completed Award tab on the Home workspace.
