Meeting the Needs of a Dynamic Research CommunityThe Office of Sponsored Projects is pleased to announce
the release of its new proposal review form (PRF). This release is the result of a collaborative effort between members of UT-Austin’s faculty, departmental administrators, OSP personnel and ITS programmers.
Users will still answer the same questions that were on the old PRF (and a few new ones). These questions remain, because they are required by university, state, or federal regulations and/or policies. The new PRF, however, organizes the questions into more common-sense categories and provides some background information regarding the collection of the data.
Many features have been added and a number of enhancements to existing features have been incorporated into the new PRF.

“save and validate” button, the PRF will automatically save any new data when a user navigates from tab to tab.
