Overview This procedure details how to relate two PAFs together. Anyone with the PI & Project Team or Reviewer role with access to a PAF can relate PAFs. Important Information
Overview If changes are made to a PAF after your unit approval or if other circumstances change prior to submission to sponsor, any Reviewer in the Administration Home stream (School/ department/ division of the administration home department ID) can use the Remove Approvals activity to remove unit approval(s) and return the PAF to the state of "Unit Review." Important
Overview To request an amendment to an active subcontract agreement (SUBK), the project team requests and submits a SUBK amendment. The Amendment Request Form can be created, edited, and submitted by: Project Team members with edit rights to the Award (includes Principal Investigators and any administrative personnel listed on the Award); Approvers and Reviewers from the awards’s Administrative Home; and if applicable, a Managing PI or Managing Department Administrator, and the Managing Department's Approvers and Approvers.
Overview The Request Action process is used to request that Office of Research and Sponsored Projects (ORSP) take action on a processing or active Award. Request Action can be completed from the Award (AWD) workspace by Principal Investigators (PIs), Sponsor PIs, Primary Post-Award Contacts, Administrative Personnel, and Approvers in the Administrative Home roll-up. The request will go to the PI and departments with automated routing for signatures.
Overview ORSP can Request Export Control Review on an Award based on their review of the Award and other applicable factors. The Request Export Control Review activity is available in all states and can be used multiple times, as needed. Navigation Role: ORSP > Award workspace
Overview If the Project Team answers either "Yes" or "Unsure" to the Proposal Approval Form (PAF) question, “Does the research project involve classified research or possible export controls?”, an export control review will automatically be requested. 
Overview To request an amendment to an Active Technology Control Plan (TCP), the project team requests and submits a TCP amendment. An amendment can be requested for changes regarding a Time Extension, Research Personnel, to Update IT Security, Physical Security/Locations, or to Update Scope of Work. The TCP Amendment can be edited/completed by: Project Team members (UFA Personnel) with edit rights to the TCP; Export Control Office (ECO).
Overview After routing the TCP to the Export Control Office (ECO), they will review it and determine if changes are needed. If a change is needed, the PI/Project Team will need to respond to the requested changes. This procedure contains instructions for making or declining changes requested by the ECO, PI/Project Team, IT Manager(s), or Unit Reviewers. The PI and Project Team members will receive an email requesting changes.
