Sponsor Not in Look Up:
Select Sponsor Not in Look Up and add the correct sponsor in the #16 comments field so that the sponsor can be added later or email the new sponsor request to the Data Management Group listserv at: ra-data-mgmt-grp@emory.edu
What do I do if my PI is not in the list of available PIs?
If the PI is a new employee and does not have an EMPLID, contact your HR Rep as he/she needs a WOC appointment. If the HR Rep is unable to resolve the issue, contact Susan Newborn in Data Services at (7-7563) or Sherri Stodgill in HR at (7-6066).
If the PI just needs to be made PI eligible in the system, complete the PI Eligibility form on the EPEX web page.
