eGIF was created in Fall 2006 for LSA faculty in the Humanities Division to help them find funding.

Summer 2008 it was opened up for the Natural Sciences and Social Sciences

eGIF will help faculty find and request internal funding for research, fellowships, subventions, conferences, or various types of cost-sharing.

eGIF is available to: LSA Tenure / Tenure -Track Faculty LSA Research Faculty LSA Graduate Students

Remember Research Fellows, Grad Students, and Staff are not eligible to be UM Principal investigators or Participating Investigators. They can be listed on PAF’s as non-faculty investigators if appropriate based on role on project

Just because they’re listed on the sponsor form that way doesn’t make it right for the PAF

Read the sponsor guidelines. Sponsor may not allow them to be list as PI or COPI even though that’s where the faculty has put them

Fellowships or student specific grants like NSF Doctorial Dissertations are examples where a student or fellow may be referred to as a PI. Faculty member is UM Principal Investigator on PAF and the student is UM Sponsor PI on PAF.

PI & Project Team Enter a Subcontract in eRPM

Step-By-Step Procedure

Last Updated: 1/7/2013 1 of 13 http://eresearch.umich.edu

A subcontract is required when UM pays an external organization to work on part of a sponsored project awarded to UM.

Enter a Subcontract in eRPM

This procedure details the process of adding a subcontract (SUBK) to a project.

I. PAF: indicating that a project will include a subcontract

II. Subcontract Worksheet: Adding a subcontract

III. PAF Workspace: Using the Subcontracts tab toenter subcontract details (post-award)

IV. Subcontract Workspace: Submitting a subcontractand Responding to Requested Changes

Variations: Requesting a SUBK for PHS Projects, Awarded Projects, and previously submitted PAFs

V. Requesting a SUBK for PHS Projects: Uploading Conflict of Interest (COI) Documents

VI. Requesting a New SUBK for an Awarded Project (This variation also applies to PAFs submitted to thesponsor prior to 8/13/2012).


A subcontract (SUBK) may also be referred to as a sub-award, sub-grant, consortium agreement or sub-agreement. It is not a “subaccount,” where a project award is allocated to multiple UM departments.

There are multiple ways to search for and select a subcontracting organization in eRPM. The main method is outlined in the procedure. View the Tips section for additional options.

I. Indicating a Subcontract in the PAF

PAF - Section 2 People: question 2.2

Executing Activities in the Subcontracts Tab of the PAF Workspace

It is not necessary to open the Subcontract Workspace in order to execute Activities related to a subcontract (e.g., Submit Subcontract Request). Once a subcontract has been associated with a PAF, Activities can be accessed in the Subcontracts tab of the PAF Workspace by clicking the Execute Activity drop-down list. The available options will change depending on the State of the SUBK and your role(s) in eRPM.

Project Team Cancel SUBK (Pre-Award) on an Active PAF

The Project Team can cancel a SUBK when the PAF State is Active and the SUBK State is Pre-Submission. Once a SUBK is awarded, only the Office of Contract Administration can cancel a SUBK. The Project Team Cancel Subcontract Activity is available in two locations:

The Activities menu in the SUBK Workspace

PI/Project Team Assign SUBK Management



Assign SUBK Management

In some cases a subcontract (SUBK) associated with a PAF will be managed by a Principal Investigator (PI) other than the PAF Contact PI and/or a department other than the PAF Administrative Home. “Management” provides the ability to enter the SUBK worksheet and execute activities (e.g., SUBK submission, approval of the draft subcontract). In eRPM, SUBK management is recorded via two activities:

Assign SUBK Management – completed by the PAF Administrative Home

Accept SUBK Management – completed by the unit reviewer in the department to which the SUBK isassigned. See the Unit Reviewer quick reference for instructions.

Upon unit acceptance, the work to establish the SUBK is transferred to the new department, but the PAF contact PI remains responsible for all subcontract activity associated with the project. The PAF Administrative Home department retains access to the SUBK.

Unit Liaison & Reviewer Manage Department Access



Manage Department Information

As a Research Unit Liaison (UL) or a Unit Reviewer, you can maintain a list in eRPM of the people or groups who do the following for each Dept ID to which you are assigned:

Reviews all PAFs and subcontracts in eRPM for a particular Dept ID. Note: only ULs can add/removeReviewers Who Can Sign (i.e., reviewers who can also approve for the Dept ID).

Receives system emails for PAFs, project award and project change notifications, and subcontracts.Note: only the Subcontract Email Notification option gives the person eRPM access.

Acts as the department Contact for questions regarding proposal preparation, etc.

Acts as a Unit Data Manager for a particular Dept ID. Only people with this access can use theManage Unit Data activity in eRPM.

This list facilitates system functions, such as automated system notifications and the routing of PAFs and subcontracts, as well as provides departmental contact information for project teams.


Refer to your unit’s policy to determine who manages the department information in eRPM. Some units assign the UL to manage this information for all Dept IDs within the unit, but others may assign a Unit Reviewer to manage a particular Dept ID.

3.15 Subproject/Grant Details*

Page 4 of the ePAF.

Optional ‐ May not be required by some units.

The purpose of this page of the worksheet is to help

identify and estimate subaccounts for applications that

involve multiple units. Designed for completion at the

proposal preparation and routing stage, it sets forth a

tentative distribution of award funds among the

participating units. The budget arrangements are subject

to change, based on the actual award and subsequent

negotiations, and are not considered final. It does,

however, provide a useful planning guide for anticipated

financial responsibilities and distribution.

To the extent possible, sections of this page of the

worksheet should be completed by the UM Principal

Investigator and acknowledged by each participating

unit that is party to the proposal.



WARNING ‐ Add and Clear buttons work on the whole

section not individual fields.

After entering subproject details for a Dept ID, click Add

to save.

After adding details for a Dept ID, you have the option

Edit or Delete.

LSA projects must include subproject/grant detail when multiple unit participants and follow‐up at award time with a subProject/Grant. COULD also be used if multiple faculty are listed on the PAF from the same department‐‐especially if they have effort. PIʹs portion of project must be shown with subproject. Potential EXCEPTIONS: Dollars for LSA not material; project doesnʹt carry IDC (equipment grants; training grants), or if other exception requested please call LSA Research Office.

4.3 Footage If additional space has been committed for this project, indicate the square footage committed

If you don't have enough project space, contact your

unit administrator.



If you need additional space, please discuss with your facilities/chairʹs office at least two weeks prior to routing of proposal.
