FAQ

eGC1: Creating, Copying, Editing, Deleting

Can I create a template for my eGC1s?

Yes. To create a “template” eGC1, start with a newly created eGC1 and fill in just the data values that you commonly use. This might include:

  • The Cost Center Receiving Funding
  • The PI’s Name
  • Administrative Contact
  • Pre-Award Budget Contact

Review the data that is copied, so you’ll know what to add.

Give the eGC1 a title that indicates it’s a template, and then save it, leaving it in Composing status. When you need to create a new eGC1, open the template eGC1 and make a copy of it.

When are snapshots added to my budget history?
When can I delete an eGC1?

See the Delete an eGC1 user guide article for full details.

  • An eGC1 in Composing status can be deleted by anyone with read/write access to it at any time.
  • An eGC1 in Returned or Withdrawn status that was last completed/routed more than six months ago may be deleted.

To delete the eGC1, click the delete icon (trash can) on the top navigation bar, and then click OK to confirm that you want to delete the eGC1.

Can I create a copy of an existing eGC1?

You can Copy an Existing eGC1. However, if it is a Grant Runner application, only the standard part of the eGC1 is copied, not the Grant Runner forms. Details about what will be copied are given on the page which displays when you start the copy process, and in the linked article above.

To copy an eGC1, click the Copy icon in the top right corner of your eGC1 window. After you review the instructional information, click Confirm Copy.

Why can’t I open one of the attachments in the Related Documents section?

Look at the type of file (.PDF, .xlsx, .docx, etc.), then check that your computer has the right software to open that type. For example, you need to have Microsoft Outlook to see .msg files. You may need to install software or you could contact osphelp@uw.edu to request the file in a different format.

How do I attach, update and delete eGC1 documents?

My sponsor requires cost sharing. What do I do?

The first step is to verify with the Dean’s Office or Provost that they will participate in cost sharing. You can then specify the cost sharing on the eGC1 Cost Sharing page.
