About this manual

The Process & Work Instructions provide the "how to" detail for Investigators, Research Advancement (RA) staff or ORSPA staff responsible for each step of the Research Administration Process.  The flowcharts on these pages graphically present the overall research administration process with a specific color representation: Maroon for ORSPA responsibilities, Gold for Unit responsibilities, and Grey for PI responsibilities that cannot be delegated to RA staff.
