Regulatory Management: Access eResearch for non-UM users

Overview

This document covers the steps for non-UM users (individuals external to U-M) to access the eResearch Regulatory Management (eRRM) system. The first step is to obtain a Friend Account or a Sponsored account. Then, an existing eRRM user creates an eResearch account (using the new Friend or Sponsored Account ID). After that, you will be able to log in to eRRM.
Important 

• For Participating SITE application users, Friend Accounts users are able to edit and post correspondence for their sites.
• For other external (non-UM) users that need to be able to edit a study, contact your study team coordinator about obtaining a Sponsored account.

   • Address
4. Click Save.
