Amount of time spent signing grant Proposal Approval Forms (PAF)

There was concern with the amount of time spent signing, in paper or PDF form, the grant Proposal Approval Forms (PAF) by every co-PI, senior personnel, and all of their department heads/chairs, and deans. In response, OVCR is currently working on an electronic system to streamline the process. The electronic system is estimated to be live by the end of the calendar year. Alpha and beta testing are already underway. Faculty volunteer groups for beta testing will be selected for piloting by September.
