Overview
All submission methods are recorded in eResearch for a proposal that has been submitted to its sponsor. When the Project Team has submitted the proposal, the recording of the submission methods are accomplished using an activity called Log Project Team Submission to Sponsor. ORSP will not be able to begin processing an award unless this activity is completed.
Who Can Log Project Team Submission to Sponsor: Only the U-M PI or Primary Research Administrator can complete the activity Log Project Team Submission to Sponsor.
Important Information

The activity Log Project Team Submission to Sponsor is available only under the following conditions:

- proposal has been finalized (upload 1 PDF of the final proposal document when finalizing)
- and the PAF/proposal in one of the following States:
