The time allowed for a proposal between approval and publishing (the Approved and Published status values) should not be longer than 165 days. Progress Report becomes an option in the investigator’s Actions or Task List dropdown as soon as a proposal application is approved. If the date of the approval or of the last progress report is older than 165 days, then you will start receiving reminder e-mail messages every two weeks. To fill out a progress report, select Progress Report in the Actions or Task List dropdown, provide the required information, and click Save.
The Status of Project value will open up additional fields that correspond to the selection.
For example, In Progress will, logically, open up more additional fields than Submitted to Journal, waiting for response. Also, on Save error messages will indicate what fields, values, or rules are required and must be observed.
Click Save when you finish. If no errors were made a prompt will confirm that your progress report “is added” to the database. Click OK to close the prompt and return to STaRS.
