Tips for successful routing:
 
If an Investigator intends to be on travel status while their proposal is routing, please ensure that the VPN and NetID+ are set up and tested/available for use during that travel.
Investigators can print out a list of NetID+ one-time use codes in advance if they will be unable to receive push notifications or generate codes during their travels.
If Co-Investigators or other Key Personnel are included in routing, please follow up with them to ensure that routing is not held up while the proposal sits in their action list for approval.
Please contact SPCS Proposal Services (sponsor@email.arizona.edu or 626-6000) as early as possible should any issues arise to enable us to discuss possible solutions.
 
Thank you for partnership over the last few months while we all acquaint ourselves to the new normal we all find ourselves in.
 
From all of us in Proposal Services, we wish you a safe and happy holiday.
 
Kind Regards,
