U-M faculty, staff, and students can log in to eResearch Proposal Management (eRPM) with a uniqname and a UMICH password, then an eRPM account is automatically created for you.
- You are given the PI & Project Team role (you can create proposals).
- If you need to be able to review proposals for your department, contact the Research Unit Liaison from your unit to obtain access to a Reviewer role.
Existing eRPM users can create an account for anyone who has a uniqname and a UMICH password, or an MCommunity Sponsored account. See Create an eRPM Account for instructions.
If you are completing a proposal for a faculty member who is not yet at U-M (they do not have a uniqname and a UMICH password), first, they should obtain a Sponsored affiliate account.
For External (non-UM) users:
- A Sponsored affiliate account must first be obtained. Then an eRPM account can be created for you by an existing eRPM user (PI & Project Team Member, Reviewer, or Unit Liaison) before you can log in.
- If you will be requesting an eRA Commons ID associated with U-M, you need to have a Sponsored affiliate account.
