Proposal Management

Overview To request an amendment to an Active Technology Control Plan (TCP), the project team requests and submits a TCP amendment. An amendment can be requested for changes regarding a Time Extension, Research Personnel, to Update IT Security, Physical Security/Locations, or to Update Scope of Work. The TCP Amendment can be edited/completed by: Project Team members (UFA Personnel) with edit rights to the TCP; Export Control Office (ECO).

Overview After routing the TCP to the Export Control Office (ECO), the ECO will review it and determine if changes are needed. If a change is needed, the PI/Project Team will need to respond to the requested changes. This procedure contains instructions for making or declining changes requested by the ECO. The PI and Project Team members will receive an email requesting changes. The TCP will be in the state of "ECO Review – Personnel Making Changes".
