eResearch

OverviewThe 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, the project ID, and a link to the applicable workspace (PAF, Award, Modification, Hardship, UFA, SUBK, or Agreement Acceptance). This document explains eRPM system-generated email notifications, outlines events that trigger email notification, and describes contents 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 To change the state of the PAF to "Withdrawn" or "Turned Down", you must go into the PAF and run the Withdraw Proposal or Turn Down Proposal activity.
