Certifying a Proposal Record

Certifying a Proposal Record

When a Proposal Record has been submitted into routing, a required certification attestation will be sent to all PI’s and Co-PIs. Each PI/Co-PI in the routing chain will receive an email that contains a direct link to certify the proposal:

When the Proposal.link is clicked from the email, the proposal form will be loaded along with a button to certify the proposal record.

A series of certification attestations will be listed.

To certify the proposal, the individual will need to check the “Confirm My Certification” box and then click “Certify”.

By Clicking “Certify” the individual is stating:
