Electronic Blue Sheet
The procedures for submitting the Blue Sheet using GroupWise are outlined in the link, Blue Sheet Submissions. If you follow these procedures as they are presented, you will be able to submit the Blue Sheet electronically to the Office of Sponsored Programs (OSP) without leaving your desk. Furthermore, you will be notified by your dean via email that the Blue Sheet and associated documents have been approved at the College level and forwarded to OSP.
Principle Investigators (PIs) of single investigators proposals are not required to use this system but may elect to use it if they would like the convenience of not having to leave their desk to obtain signatures from their chair or dean.
