Over the last few months, we released the following to ResearchUVA. These are the result of feedback from across the community and OSP staff. Thank you for your contributions!

• Additional eSPAR types were added:
  • "End Grant or Contract Early" consolidation of Award Relinquishment and Early Termination.
  • Other Sponsor Prior Approval.
  • Other Request "catch all" for cases that definitely do not fit into the main types.
• "Finalized-xx/xx/xxxx" comment in an action additional info box is now bolded for easier identification and separation from other comments.
• Additional information section added to eSPAR summary pages to accommodate a request from the field. This allows the field to see the relevant information on the summary pages without having to navigate to the form edit page.
• Modifications to how the Key personnel section of the ePRF works. The page will now conditionally allow personnel to be added to a proposal based on their employment status with the university. This essentially will prevent Med center and UPG employees with no academic appointment from being added to an ePRF.
• Program Income accounts are now automatically associated with the correct sponsor account, similar to the way cost share companion accounts are.
• New IRB numbering format accommodated on ePRF.
