Effective May 3, 2023, RMS will be updated to require the completion of the other support information and abstract sections. This new requirement is being implemented to assist the Department Administrators with the development of Federal Other Support / Current & Pending Support pages and to better position WashU for research reporting and research data analytics.
The following fields in Proposal Development (PD) Records, on the WU Full Review Docs tab, will be mandatory:

- New Dropdown for selection of either:
- Are Accurate and Complete
- Are Not Accurate, Partially Complete (i.e., Draft Form), or Not Available at the Time of Submission
- Brief Description of the Proposal (Major Goals)
- Location of Project (will be auto-populated with “Washington University”)
- Is there Overlap?

- Abstract section

- New Dropdown for selection of either:
In PD, any selection of “Are Not Accurate, Partially Complete (i.e., Draft Form), or Not Available at the Time of Submission” will generate weekly email notifications to remind Department Administrators to enter/update the information in Proposal Tracking (PT).
Department Administrators will be able to update PT Records at any time.
The help texts in RMS have also been updated to provide clarity for these fields.
Please share this information with all faculty and staff who may need this information.
