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 SPS Preaward Services (sponsor@email.arizona.edu or 520-626-6000) as early as possible should any issues arise to enable us to discuss possible solutions.
As a reminder, the Kuali update will occur on the heels of returning from Winter Closure. Please see more information on the timelines and training resources on the Kuali Research Upgrade webpage.
