The Yerkes question (#9) has been changed.  Please note that you should only mark “yes” to this question if Yerkes approval is needed, and no Yerkes based investigators have been listed on the Project Page.

Question 11 regarding ARRA Funding has been removed. It now is repurposed to track Third Party Materials.

The Certification statement has changed.

The Approval Inbox now has a column for Due Date.  This allows you to sort your Approval Inbox by Due Date.

The OSP Analyst Stage  now allows for OSP to place proposals “In Progress” with a certain Analyst.  Please be sure to check the workflow map to see who is currently working on your proposal by entering the proposal and clicking on the “Pending Approval” hyperlink.  Instead of showing “Multiple Approvers”, it will show “In Progress” and the Analyst’s name.
