Copy a protocol version.

Copy functionality enables you to have information automatically transferred to a new protocol or version, thereby avoiding duplicate manual entry. Choose from two options: 1) copy one protocol with its current version to a new protocol and version or 2) copy one version within a protocol to another version within that same protocol. The following table explains the rules by which you can copy values for protocol and version copying functionality:

When a project is extended or you are approved for more funding you may need to renew an approved protocol. You do this by copying the approved protocol to a Renewal type version, making the necessary updates and resubmitting. The protocol undergoes the regular protocol creation and submission process, however it is treated as a renewal.

Use the Copy Protocol page (GM_PCL_CPY) to copy a protocol.
