PERC's process for checking whether an organization record already exists or not is similar to OAC's, with the exception that within the PERC realm "Organizations" are named after their Principal Investigators. PERC organizations are in the format Last Name, (Optional User Title if applicable) First Name. For example, a PERC applicant with the name "Test Name" with a title if "Associate Professor" would have an organization record called "Name, Associate Professor Test." Similar to the steps in the section above for OAC organizations, you can copy the PERC registered user's name and paste it into the search bar in the "Organizations" card (even if you paste the user's full name as First Name Last Name in the search bar, the system is smart enough to find a matching record even if the associated Organization record is called Last Name, Associate Professor First Name e.g.). If you DO find a matching organization to the registered PI, then you can proceed to the section entitled "Linking a Registered Organization to an Existing Organization for PERC."
