eRPM Training Opportunities
Although not required, training is highly recommended for Research Administrators who will be doing most of the work in the system. There is no expectation that Deans, administrators who only approve projects, or PIs will attend training. There are materials provided online specifically for PIs and authorized signers/Deans to address their most common activities in the system
But for Research Administrators, training options include: (all options are available through the MAIS web site http://www.umich.edu/~eresinfo/erpm/training.html)
- Instructor-led Courses on eRPM Proposal Preparation & Unit Review
Classroom sessions comprehensively cover PAF creation, the review process, the review routing table, making changes when a PAF is out for review, managing Proposal Data when the proposal is being reviewed, how to review/approve, and PAN/PAC notifications.
