eResearch Proposal Management Support for Investigator Signatures

How-Tos

• Sign PAF – The signing of the Proposal Approval Form (PAF) by all investigators, including the U-M PI, is separate from the Unit review and approval of the PAF.  Many units will not approve a PAF unless the U-M PI has signed the PAF.
  Important:  A U-M investigator cannot complete the Sign PAF activity unless they have also submitted their annual disclosure certification/update in M-Inform.
