The department chair, college dean and the college division chief will be notified by email only once during the proposal sign-off approval process. However if a PI submits a proposal, the PI can decide whether to receive future sign-off approval requests or not. If he/she does wish to receive future requests, he/she will be notified via email.
If the PI chooses not to receive future requests, he/she will not be notified via email. The approval will also be acknowledged upon the PI’s submission into workflow.
