Project Information Request Form

1. Please provide all information marked with a red asterisk.
2. Submit separate PIRF for each project.
3. Use previously assigned project numbers for continuing projects and note any changes that will occur.
4. If a project has been discontinued, please fill out the top part of the PIRF to transmit that information.
5. If we do not receive a filled out PIRF for a continuing project, we can only assume that the project has been discontinued and we may reassign resources to others.
6. Check with station superintendents if there are any questions about resources available at the stations. Click on Station Phone and FAX numbers (PDF, 40 KB) to see the list.
7. Project leaders must send a trial map/design to the appropriate station prior to initiation of the project.
8. If summary information from continuing or completed projects is available, please send a copy to the appropriate station.
9. The principal investigator is responsible for securing any additional approvals needed for the project. (i.e. IACUC or Biological Safety)

Note:

• For projects in campus greenhouses, a different process is used. Please contact Greenhouse for this form or go online at http://greenhouses.ars.wisc.edu/

• Copying and pasting text directly from Microsoft Word can cause PIRF submission errors due to the extra formatting, including Microsoft-proprietary tags and attributes that gets included. Rather than copying and pasting directly from a MS Word doc into the PIRF, it is recommended that you copy from Word into a text editor (like Notepad) to remove the Microsoft formatting. Then copy from the text editor into PIRF. If you have questions, please contact ars@cals.wisc.edu.
