ASR Budget & Award Lines

Clinical Trial Note:

If your award is for a Clinical Trial, review the “Creating a Clinical Trials Budget for SAGE Awards” job aid for step-by-step instructions on creating a minimal budget.


In this section of the request, you can:

Connect Budget Breakdown from SAGE Budget

Your SAGE Award Budget identifies how you would like your awarded funds to be set up in Workday. You can also forecast future period budget amounts for a full project budget view. A SAGE Budget is required as indicated by the red asterisk.

If you have an existing proposal SAGE budget, you can copy and update it for your award; otherwise, you need to create a SAGE budget. The award budget must have a salary line with the role of PI on the Primary Worksheet, any additional UW Internal worksheets, and any Fabrication worksheets. The PI on any worksheet can have a salary of zero dollars ($0).

Note: You may wish to rename your “Primary Worksheet” to a more specific title to distinguish awards in Workday.

To attach the SAGE budget to your Award Setup Request, search for your budget by budget title, Budget ID number, or PI.

Note: Your selected SAGE Budget cannot be connected to an eGC1 or another Award Setup Request.

The following image shows the search box:
