Proposal Management: Remove Approvals

Overview

If changes are made to a Proposal Approval Form (PAF) after your unit approval or if other circumstances change prior to submission to sponsor, any Reviewer in the Administration Home chain (School/ department/ division of the administrative home department ID) can use the Remove Approvals activity to remove unit approval(s) and return the PAF to the state of "Unit Review."

Important

If the completion of this activity is during an ORSP Review state, the action will remove the assigned ORSP Review Type. It will be recalculated when the PAF returns to an ORSP review state after all unit approvals.
