Proposal Management: Approve a Technology Control Plan (TCP)

Overview

After the Export Control Office (ECO) creates and reviews a Technology Control Plan (TCP), they will send an email notification to request signatures. After all Research Personnel and IT Manager(s) have signed, the TCP will go to Unit Reviewers for approval. This procedure contains instructions for Unit Reviewers to Sign the TCP. See Technology Control Plans & Licenses for more information about TCPs.

Signing the TCP

Unfunded Agreement (UFA) Email Notifiers will receive an email requesting signature. In addition, Dean and Department Chair approval is required, and it can be uploaded if necessary.
Signing in eRPM:

• Records your approval in the Recent Activity list on the UFA Workspace.
• Once all Units have signed, the TCP is automatically routed for ECO to finalize, and the TCP State changes from Unit Review TCP to Export Control Office Finalizing.
