Overview
The eResearch Proposal Management (eRPM) system generates email notifications on certain state transitions and upon the completion of certain events/activities. All email notifications include information about the project and a link to the applicable workspace (PAF, Award, Hardship, UFA, SUBK, or Agreement Acceptance). This document provides tips about eRPM email notifications, outlines events that trigger email notification, and provides a short description of the email and its recipients.
Overview
ORSP can Terminate an Award if the compliance hold items cannot be reconciled, and the Award is in the state of "Compliance Hold."
Note When an Award is Terminated, the associated PAF returns to the state of "Submitted to "Sponsor." To change the state of the PAF to "Withdrawn" or "Turned Down", you must go into the PAF and run the Withdraw Proposal or Turn Down Proposal activity.
