My Pipeline

Main content start
  • Have you ever submitted or approved a transaction in SeRA, but then wondered where and to whom it went?

  • Is your institutional official telling you they haven’t received the Proposal Development Routing Form (PDRF) or Research Related Agreement (RRA) Request you submitted last week and wondered WHERE IS IT?!

  • Have you ever wondered if you really did approve a transaction, but aren’t sure? 

The Stanford Electronic Research Administration (SeRA) system is here to support you! 

SeRA My Pipeline

The SeRA My Pipeline is a quick and easy way to see the status of any in-progress and closed within the last 90 days SeRA transaction you submitted and/or approved.  This is an incredibly value-add feature when you are shepherding a PIF, PDRF, RRA request, account setup (including early and extended PTAs), central office request etc. through department, school, and other approvals as it makes its way to one of Stanford's central research administration offices e.g. the Office of Sponsored Research, the School of Medicine's Research Management Group, or the Industry Contract Office for institutional intake and review.

For example:

If you initiated a Proposal Development Routing Form (PDRF) for your faculty member and routed it to her for approval, and she has informed you she approved the PDRF, but institutional official has yet to receive it, you can leverage the Pipeline feature to identify to whom the PDRF is currently assigned and reach out as needed to help expedite the approval process so that the PDRF can make its way to institutional review.
