Division of Research
Electronic Proposal Routing and Approval (ePRAF)
In alignment with the goal of the Division of Research to enable the university’s researchers to focus more of their time and resources on the science during the proposal process, the Electronic Proposal Routing Approval Form (ePRAF) was implemented to replace the previously used paper-based Internal Clearance Form. The ePRAF allows the electronic routing of proposals throughout the entire approval process from the PI / Co-PIs, to the Chair, Dean and the Division of Research.
