Access

All new users, who will create or edit InfoEd proposals, are required to attend the InfoEd Proposal Development module prior to gaining access to the program.

If the PI will not create or enter information into the application, PIs are encouraged but not required to attend the class. A principal Investigator (PI) may assign a delegate, who has already attended the training, or the department’s InfoEd administrator must take responsibility for training and supporting the new user. PIs will still require InfoEd access in order to approve and submit an InfoEd application.

For more information, refer to the InfoEd Training Policy.
