Here you will find some important tips for completing the PSR. At the bottom of this page there is a General Proposal Properties section that requires completion before the rest of the PSR displays.

Two questions related to Human and Animal subjects will need to be answered. Your answers to these questions will determine if additional questions are required later in the PSR related to human subjects and laboratory animals.

For Associated Departments, the primary department will determine which Proposal Analyst the PSR routes to. If it needs to be changed or if additional departments are associated with the submission, you can add departments by searching the org codes in the popup window. When multiple org codes are associated with the record, the radio icon will indicate the primary org code. Departments indicated that are not affiliated with the submission can be removed.

Once you have read this page and answered the prompts, click Save and Continue in the small outlined box at that bottom of the window.

Continue to complete all of the sections of the PSR form. Each section has a tab in the left side (dark grey) navigation. The PSR does not need to be completed chronologically, entered data will be auto saved by the system. All section tabs must be marked completed before you can Build and Submit PSR.
