Regulatory Management: Friend Account – Accepting Your Role on the Study Team

Overview

Except for those with the role of Principal Investigator or Administrative Staff, study team members who are not affiliated with U-M (e.g., individuals with a Friend or Sponsored account) must access eResearch Regulatory Management and accept their role before an application can be submitted. This process allows the individual to verify and accept their role on the study team and to maintain compliance with U-M Conflict of Interest policies.

After logging in to eResearch Regulatory Management, complete the following steps.
