Proposal Routing Form (PRF) is now electronically routed in DocuSign

Posted in WPI

We are pleased to announce, that we are currently in the process of moving our Proposal Routing Form (PRF) to DocuSign from the current PDF version.

Some of you may have used DocuSign already, but if not, it is really simple and compatible with both desktop and mobile devices.  You will simply get an email notification that you have a PRF to sign and you will have the ability to quickly access and sign it digitally.  You can also track your PRFs within the system if you create an account, but you do not have to create an account to sign a document.

Please contact your pre-award contact with any questions.
