Proposal Management: Create an eResearch Account

Overview

If you cannot find a user in eResearch, you can create an eResearch account. If a person has logged into eResearch before he/she will have the PI/Project Team role. If you need to add a person who has never logged in before, you can create an account for:

• U-M Users: A person associated with U-M.
• Non-UM Users: A person who does not have an affiliation with U-M (a friend account or sponsored account will also need to be obtained).

Important eResearch Regulatory Management (eRRM), Proposal Management (eRPM),  eRAM, and M-Inform accounts are created separately.

Important 

• If a non-UM individual needs to access the eResearch system, they will need to request an MCommunity Sponsored account or create a U-M Friend account. This creates an ID to allow non-UM users to login into some U-M systems.
• They must create a U-M Friend account using the same preferred email address that you enter on this page. If the email addresses do not match, they will not be able to log in to eResearch. For information, see MCommunity Sponsorship or Obtaining a Friend Account.

2. Check the Not Currently Associated with UM box.
   
3. Enter the personal information. You are required to enter the following to save:
   • Preferred Email Address
   • Retype Preferred Email Address
   • First Name
   • Last Name
   • Address (Street 1, City, Zip, County)
4. Click Save.
5. Click OK to close the confirmation.

You can now find this person in eResearch.
