##  International Collaboration and Activities Approval 

 This release includes a new International collaboration and activities form, approval, and request. This initiative was sponsored by the Office of the Provost for Research and OSP.

 **New international collaboration and activities form**

- New form to indicate international collaboration and activities. The form will have edit and display-only views.
 
 **Updates to initial and competing renewal proposals**

- New international collaboration and activities panel
- New international collaboration and activities form can be edited and viewed from this panel
- Signatures have been updated to include summary of data entered on international form (with a link to view the form)
 
 **New international collaboration and activities request**

- New international collaboration and activities request can be created
- New request provides the ability to make updates (such as at award, and as needed, outside of initial/competing request) and to route for central review and approval
 
 **New international collaboration and activities approval and workflow**

- View screen for the new approval
- Shows the current status of the approval
- Shows the current version of the international collaboration and activities form
- Includes a list of all prior versions of the form by request
- If the status is "Needs review" a department user can either confirm that the current version of the form is still accurate, or create a new version of the form
- A review of the international collaboration and activities form will be triggered when a notice is logged for the first time on a proposal
- Email notifications will be sent to those in the Department Administrator role indicating a review is needed
 
 **International collaboration and activities cutover**

- All projects in Pending or Unfunded status will have an international collaboration and activities approval automatically generated at go-live. The default status of the approval will be “Incomplete”.
- The approval question “Is there a foreign/overseas component (include subagreements)?” has been removed from the approval attributes questions.
- In the past when this question was answered “Yes” it created a “Foreign component approval”. These approvals will remain on the projects for reference (however the approval has been retired, and a new approval can no longer be created).
