eResearch

Overview It is recommended that you use the Validate functionality to ensure all required fields are complete in a submission (e.g., protocol, animal use form, etc.) before submitting it for review. Any errors must be resolved before it can be submitted. In order to minimize the number of errors that display, you should not run Validate until you are ready to submit the submission for review.
This document reflects an older version. Please update your bookmarks to the new Validate guide. Overview
The process is essentially the same but you (as protocol editor or authorized signer on both protocols) will be filling out both the receiving and the donating information. Remember that only the Authorized Signer can see the Submit Form activity! For example, you need to donate some of Dr. John's animals to Dr. Lee, and you are an authorized signer on both of these PIs' protocols. You would first create a transfer type of animal use form from either protocol and select the role of that protocol as either donating or receiving.
Shortcodes are used for making purchases at U-M, including purchasing animals, equipment and/or other necessities related to eRAM protocols. The eRAM system facilitates the use of Shortcodes by providing functionality to request the use of Shortcodes from other individuals, and the transfer of Shortcodes between protocols. Within eRAM, Shortcodes can be maintained by a Principal Investigator, ULAM, or a Shortcode Manager who has been designated by a PI.
