eBridge Funding Proposal Enhancements

In the November 3, 2012 eBridge production patch, several enhancements will be added to eBridge.  One of the changes was initiated from a suggestion by our eBridge User Group.   The detailed information on the enhancements is explained below:

Added Approver Names of the PDA and CA Roles to the Project Information Links

Effective November 3, 2012, Principal Investigators and their research team will be able to view the approver names of the PDA and CA roles in the “Project Information Links” section.   The addition of the approver names will provide users with the names of those with the appropriate role to take the PDA approval action and/or the CA approval action.  The eBridge User Group had recommended this enhancement so they have the name(s) of who to contact for approvals.

Effective November 3, 2012, the Primary Department Administrator (PDA) role will be added to the Post Award Actions, “Change in PI” and “Submit Change in PI Update to GCO” activities.  Adding the PDA role to these two activities will allow not only the PI and the Grants & Contracts office to change the PI and submit the change of the PI, but will allow the PDA to do so as well.
