Creating and Editing Your Profile:

Your Profile information will be used in three areas to:

• match and receive e-mails of new funding opportunities from SPIN on a daily basis;
• prepare and print your custom-formatted vitae; and
• auto-fill appropriate fields in InfoEd’s Proposal Development, when available.

Important tips to remember when using InfoEd Profile:

• Your Username and Password are case sensitive. To have these e-mailed to you, go to http://www.clemson.edu/osp and type in your Novell username and password. If you do not have an InfoEd Username, e-mail crisb@clemson.edu or call 864-656-0342 for set-up.
• Use MicroSoft Internet Explorer (IE) v6 or higher.
• Always choose “Save” from the InfoEd module, not from the IE browser, before proceeding to next screen.
• Clemson University’s Office of Sponsored Programs (CU-OSP) currently supports only the features of InfoEd’s Profile module as listed in these instructions. Instructions for setting up and printing your vitae are included in a separate Quick Reference Sheet.
• Always select the “Log Out” button to log out.
