Electronic Approval Routing System (EARS)
Update
The Electronic Approval Routing System (EARS) for proposals
is being updated. The office of Research Administration and
Finance (RAF) plans to begin using the updated system Friday,
March 15, 2013.
Approvers will now click a secure link labeled “Approve or
Disapprove” in the email they receive, and then simply click a
button to Approve or Disapprove on the web page that loads; no
additional authentication necessary.
