eResearch Proposal Management (eRPM) is Live
eRPM Released to campus on March 30
“We particularly like being able
to see exactly
where the
proposal
is. In the current
paper system,
there is a lot of
follow-up via phone
or e-mail
to find out when a
proposal
will be
signed and returned.”

Research administrators and investigators can create, review, and approve proposals from anywhere via the Web.
New system has many benefits
Facilitates approval process
- Determines people and departments that need to review proposals based on Proposal Approval Form (PAF)
- Tracks approval route
Promotes collaboration
Allows document attachment and storage
- Enables Principle Investigators and Research Administrators to easily view all of the information related to the project/proposal
Phased roll-out in progress
The largest units on campus are already using eRPM. Others have scheduled their own start date. All of campus will be using eRPM by the end of Summer 2009. (Schedule for units to start using eRPM)
Thank you!
The successful pilot is due to the hard work and collaboration of:
- Principle Investigators & Research Administrators from 30 units across all 3 campuses
- Staff from the Office of the Vice President for Research Division of Research Development and Administration
- eResearch Proposal Management Team
