Frequently Asked Questions 

• My Principal Investigator is not selectable in the form that I am preparing, how can I add them?
  Have the Principal Investigator complete myResearch Grants Access Request Form.
• Can I copy or delete an agreement that I’ve created?
  Agreements can be copied by selecting the Copy Agreement action, deleted by selecting Discard action or can be withdrawn by selecting the Withdraw action from your workspace. Once an agreement has moved to the Active state, it cannot be withdrawn or discarded.
• My Contracting Party is not selectable in the form that I am preparing, how can I add them?
  On the General Information page select TBD from the list. Add the Contracting Party name under question 1 ("If you cannot find the organization in the list above, enter its information here:"). Complete the remaining required fields and click OK.
• How do I determine who the contracting contact is for the contracting party? Can I just add the name and contact information of the scientific collaborator I’m working with
  Before making your myResearch submission, please reach out to your scientific collaborator at the contracting party and ask them to identify the correct legal representative for their institution. Since the legal contact is the person with the authority to negotiate the binding terms of the contract on behalf of your scientific collaborator’s institution, it is rare for the collaborating scientist to have that legal authority. This legal contact person would be the person OSP would work with to negotiate contract terms. Identification of the correct person for negotiation is essential and if this information is not provided or is not accurate in a submission, processing of the agreement likely will be delayed.
• How do I alert the OSP staff to a deadline date for my myResearch submission?
  Any time constraints can be communicated by including a note under Log Correspondence where you can also upload relevant attachments.
• I am a PI and I need to respond to a “Requests for Clarification” in myResearch. How do I do that?
  Instructions on responding can be found in the Training Manual.
• My submission is “On Hold for Ancillary Review”. What does that mean?
  The Agreement is under review by a compliance department at the University and cannot proceed until that review is completed.
• How can I tell who in OSP is working on my agreement in myResearch?
  The person responsible for the review of the Agreement at a particular point in time is noted as the “owner” in the record. This can be found in your Workspace.
• I received a myResearch notice stating that my agreement is “nearing expiration.” I want to extend it. How do I do that?
  You can request an amendment in myResearch by following the steps outlined here.
