Important Information
Overview
Beginning with eRPM Release 5.2, Awards will have the ability to be "linked" by relating award records.
Type 1 Example: Awards that do not necessarily share the same Sponsor Award Reference Number but for U-M purposes they represent the same work. The classic NIH example for this type is a competing renewal. Years 1-5 will be the first award. Years 6-10 would be funded as a second, independent award. In this case the two awards would be created independently with unique Award ID numbers. Each award will have its own award amounts and allocations.
Overview
Beginning with eRPM Release 5.2, Awards will have the ability to be "linked" by relating award records.
A Set Restricted Award Relationship activity is available to mark an Award in an "Active" State as a Type 2 Parent, meaning that it is eligible to have a sub-project award created off of it. Once an award is marked as a parent, then children subproject awards can be created from it. This is referred to as "Type 2" linking of awards.

The Office of Contract Administration (OCA) can complete the Log Contract Approval activity when the Award is in the state of "Contract Processing."

Overview
Once the institution (Office of Contract Administration (OCA) or ORSP signing official) has signed the contract, and depending on whether U-M is the first or last institution to sign, ORSP can complete the Log Partially Executed Contract activity or the Log Fully Executed Contract activity. If a partially executed contract is logged, then the Log Fully Executed Contract activity is available to complete upon return of the fully executed agreement.
Overview
All submission methods are recorded in eResearch for a proposal that has been submitted to its sponsor. When the Project Team has submitted the proposal, the recording of the submission methods are accomplished using an activity called Log Project Team Submission to Sponsor. ORSP will not be able to begin processing an award unless this activity is completed.
