You can use the Sponsor Budget Map page to understand how your SAGE Budget personnel data will initially flow to the RR Detailed Budget form.
In the (01) Salary and Wages section on the Sponsor Budget Map page, you will see one row for each person on your parent budget and any internal sub budgets.
Based on the Project Role you selected for each person in SAGE Budget, each person will map to either the RR Detailed Budget Section A. Senior/Key Person or Section B. Other Personnel.
The columns in this section of the Sponsor Budget Map are:
From SAGE Budget: displaying its Expense Type and Project Role
To RR Detailed Budget: displaying its Category and Project Role
Personnel Order: displaying the relative position in the Section A list for this person. Note: this column is unique to the 01 section.
Initially, you will see the personnel listed in the same Project Role order as on your SAGE Budget. Any personnel from internal sub budgets will display just after those on the parent budget, within each role.
You can adjust the default RR Detailed Budget Project Roles, except for the person who is the PD/PI. In some cases, you can change the default RR Detailed Budget Category (Section A or B).
Optionally, you can change the Personnel Order for those mapped to the RR Detailed Budget Section A by using the “Drag to Re-Order” feature (described below).
For personnel in Section B, in addition to the four default Project Roles, you can create customized ones.
Section A. Senior/Key Persons
When you first view the Sponsor Budget Map page, you will see the personnel listed in the same Project Role order as on your SAGE Budget. Any personnel from internal sub budgets will display just after those from the parent budget, within each role.

Drag to Re-Order Feature
You can use this feature to adjust the order of the personnel mapped to Section A of the RR Detailed Budget. The Personnel Order column displays the text “RR Detailed Budget Position” followed by a number, indicating that person’s place in the order.
The Application PI (if present) will display on the first row. If your budget does not include an Application PI, then the Principal Investigator will be listed first.
After the PD/PI or Application PI (if present), the default order of the personnel entries is by Category (Section A or B) and, within each category, by Project Role with Parent Budget and Sub-Budget personnel grouped together. For example:
Multiple PI (parent)
Multiple PI (sub budget)
Co-Investigator (parent)
Co-Investigator (sub-budget)
Key Personnel (parent)
Key Personnel (sub-budget)
You can use your mouse, or the keyboard, to choose a person’s row to re-order. Move the row up or down to update the position number for that person. Note that the form can list up to eight individuals. Any additional personnel are included in the Additional Senior Key Persons attachment, described below. The PD/PI must be one of the initial eight people listed.
Personnel mapped to Section B will have the note “Not applicable” in the Personnel Order column. You can drag them to a different position on the mapping page, but the next time you view the mapping page, the order will have returned to the Section A personnel followed by those mapped to Section B.
Any changes you make on your connected SAGE Budget or the Sponsor Budget Map page will be reflected on the RR Detailed Budget form when you view it. The ordering of Personnel on both the Sponsor Budget Map page and the RR Detailed Budget form will match the last ordered sequence you created and saved on the Sponsor Budget map page. Any newly entered Personnel, after the initial synchronization, will sort to the bottom of the Sponsor Budget Map page order by default.
Additional Senior Key Persons Attachment on RR Detailed Budget
Section A can display up to eight individuals on the RR Detailed Budget form. You must list any additional personnel in an attachment to the form. When you initially connect your SAGE Budget and Grant Runner application, SAGE will automatically generate and attach the PDF file listing any additional personnel. The file will be named to reflect the budget period. For example, the attachment for Period 3 of your budget will be named “Period_3_Personnel.pdf”. In addition, the system will calculate the Total Funds for Attached Persons value and display it.
Any time you add or remove Section A personnel from your SAGE Budget, or change their order on the Sponsor Budget Map page, the PDF attachment will automatically be recreated to reflect those changes, if necessary.
Section B. Other Personnel
Personnel that map to Section B are combined into the appropriate rows, with their data values totaled.
Mapping Rules
If you select one of these SAGE Budget Project Roles, the individual will be added to the corresponding role in Section B.
Post Doctoral Associates

The Sponsor Budget Map page shows where the expenses from your connected SAGE Budget will flow to on the RR Detailed Budget form.
A link to the Sponsor Budget Map page will appear on the left navigation menu once you connect your SAGE Budget to your Grant Runner application and the RR Detailed Budget form is either mandatory for your opportunity, or you have selected it.
You may not need to use the Sponsor Budget Map page unless you have expenses that are not mapped to default fields on the RR Detailed Budget form, or you need to adjust the defaults. A red exclamation “validation icon” will display if you need to complete any mappings.
Note: The Sponsor Budget Map page does not show dollar amounts. It shows you how the various expenses on your budget are categorized for the RR Detailed Budget form. For some expenses, you can use the Sponsor Budget Map to change where and how your data displays on the RR Detailed Budget form.
Data Synchronization
After the initial connection of your SAGE Budget and Grant Runner application, any data changes you make on your SAGE Budget will be synchronized with both the RR Detailed Budget form and Sponsor Budget Map page. Any changes you make on the Sponsor Budget Map page will be reflected on the RR Detailed Budget form when you view it.
Your data changes will also be reflected in the PDF generated when you select View Grant Runner forms (PDF) on the left navigation menu.
Using the Sponsor Budget Map
The Sponsor Budget Map page will initially show where the SAGE Budget expenses will appear, by default, on the RR Detailed Budget. Where editable, you can choose to shift those expenses to a different category on the RR Detailed Budget. You can also specify the order of the personnel entries for Section A. Senior/Key Persons.
The Map page includes a link to your budget, just above the first section, that displays the budget number and title. For example: B88888 GENE LAB PROJECT.
Below the link, there is a section for each expense type (object code) on your connected SAGE Budget. By default, the sections are all collapsed when you first view the page. You can “Expand All” sections or just individual ones.
The sections you see will match those where you have entered data in your parent SAGE Budget and any sub budgets. The possible sections are:
(01) Salaries and Wages, which includes the (07) Retirement and Benefits data (links to separate article)
SAGE Budget data is displayed on the left side of the page, in the same order as your SAGE Budget. The RR Detailed Budget expense category to which the expense will be mapped is shown on the right side.
Each section will display a status icon to indicate the status of the data within the section. A red exclamation point indicates that there are one or more expenses from your SAGE Budget that you need to map to an RR Detailed Budget category or sub-category. A green check mark indicates that all mappings are resolved. The Participant/Trainee Support Costs section shows a gray check mark icon if one or more of the optional mappings are unresolved.
Adjust Expense Categories
You can change a number of SAGE Budget expense categories from the default value to another category on the RR Detailed Budget. Use the drop-down menus in the right-hand column to make changes to the default mapping between SAGE Budget and the RR Detailed Budget form. Some selections are grayed-out to indicate that the SAGE Budget object code cannot be mapped to that selection. For example, Travel costs cannot be assigned to Other Personnel.
Create Customized Categories
For some expenses that map to Section F: Other Direct Costs, there is no default sub-category. You must make a selection. These expenses are:
Supplies & Materials 05-47, 05-48
Student Aid 08-00, 08-02, 08-05
Unallocated 38-00
You can either select one of the existing sub-categories, or create a customized one. You can add up to 3 custom (user defined) sub-categories for Section F.
Click on “Select…” in the drop-down menu and choose “Other…” You made need to scroll down the list.
A dialog will display where you can enter the customized name of your sub-category. Click Save to return to the Map page. The new sub-category will appear, followed by an Edit link.
Once you have added a customized sub-category, it will appear in the drop-down so that you can choose it for additional expenses. If you edit the name of your customized sub-category, all items you associated with that sub-category will be updated.
Participant Support Costs
You can change some SAGE Budget expense items from the default mapping value to Section E. Participant/Trainee Support Costs.
Note: If you have any Participant Support Costs, you must use the section at the end of the Sponsor Budget Map page to indicate the associated numbers of participants for those budget periods.

The eGC1 Compliance Questions and Explanations pages have been replaced by a new page called Non-Fiscal Compliance. This consolidation provides a more streamlined experience for preparers and reviewers.
Updated questions reflect current institutional needs, with improved clarity in mind. Links to supporting guidance have been added to assist preparers in understanding the policies and regulations behind each question. You can review the updated questions by visiting this page..
Design improvements make the page easier to navigate and gauge progress toward completion.
eGC1s that are in routing at the time of this release will display the old compliance questions that existed when the eGC1 was initially routed.
However, any eGC1 that is returned or withdrawn after the release will be reset with the new compliance questions. Answers to the previous questions will no longer display. Plan for additional time to re-complete that page in case a return or withdrawal is necessary.
Zipline and Hoverboard linked to eGC1
Human Subject (Zipline) and Animal Use (Hoverboard) protocols can now be linked to your eGC1. Searching by IRB Application Number or IACUC Protocol Number will allow you to pull in real-time information, reducing manual back-and-forth between systems and improving the accuracy of protocol details in SAGE.
Improved Collaboration
Send page link to PI, Reviewers
From any standard eGC1 page (excluding Grant Runner forms), the URL is now a direct link that you can copy and share with others who have access to that eGC1. This will be particularly useful when collaborating with the PI on completing the Non-Fiscal Compliance page.
Multi-User Editing (limited)
Currently, only one person can edit an eGC1 at a time. However, the Non-Fiscal Compliance page can now be edited, even while someone else is working in other areas of the eGC1. This will avoid situations where the PI could be blocked from contributing to the Non-Fiscal Compliance page while the administrator is currently editing other areas of the proposal.
Use this section to provide information about tangible items involved in a project, such as equipment and biological materials. This information helps reviewers understand export control and budgetary implications as well as informing protections that need to be in place for any sharing of tangible items outside UW. Contact Equipment Inventory Office with specific questions about fabricating equipment, or email exports@uw.edu for guidance on export controls.
As with other eGC1 pages, you can partially complete your entries and save the eGC1. You must complete the required fields before you route your eGC1 for approval.

These same fields will have validation messages when the user clicks “Show Form Errors” at the top of the form. All NIH errors and validations will continue to show when the full application is checked by clicking “Check for Errors” in the left navigation of SAGE.
eGC1 Data Sync Improvements with Grant Runner Forms
To help prevent data inconsistencies when multiple browser sessions are open, the data sync between the eGC1 and Grant Runner forms has been improved. When you make updates to information in the eGC1 that flows through to Grant Runner forms, those updates will now automatically sync with each save/refresh of the eGC1.
Improved Accessibility for Keyboard and Tab Order Functionality
To meet accessibility standards, all Grant Runner forms are now accessible using keyboard only functionality. In addition, tab order has been improved to be more logical and intuitive, reducing the number of times the user has to press the tab key.
Error Messages Enhanced
Question numbers have been added to error messages on all Grant Runner forms. This update will help users quickly identify the specific error within a form. This will be especially helpful for longer forms such as the new Human Subjects & Clinical Trials form.

EHS-1. Will this project involve any of the following?
Answer: Check all that apply
Biohazards
Select Agents and Toxins
Radioactive Materials
SCUBA Diving
Chemical Thresholds (toxic, unstable, explosive)
None of the Above
You must make at least one selection. If “None of the Above” is selected, the system will clear any other boxes that were checked.
Additional information will display when a box is selected.
Biohazards: Biological Use Authorization from the UW Institutional Biosafety Committee is required as defined on the EH&S webpage. Please note that some categories of research require BUA prior to initiation. The BUA application submission deadlines are also posted on this website.
Select Agents and Toxins: EH&S approval of this eGC-1 is required due to federal regulations. EH&S will work with the PI to obtain necessary federal clearances, approvals, and training. Documentation of due diligence is required for any transfer of Select Toxins in any amount. Some Select Agent and Select Toxin research is subject to review by the Dual Use Research of Concern (DURC) Institutional Review Entity (IRE). See the EH&S website for information about Select Agents and Select Toxins, Select Toxin Due Diligence, and DURC.
Radioactive Materials: Approval of this application will be contingent on whether or not a Radiation Use Authorization (RUA), issued to the Principal Investigator (PI), sufficiently covers the proposed radioactive material work.
SCUBA Diving: Anyone diving under the University of Washington’s auspices must have current certification as a University of Washington Scientific Diver and adhere to the standards set forth in the UW’s Diving Safety Manual. EH&S will contact you to assist in meeting Diving Safety Program requirements prior to diving. For more information, please see: https://www.ehs.washington.edu/research-lab/diving-safety-program
Chemical Thresholds (toxic, unstable, explosive): EH&S will contact you for planning assistance as fire department requirements may not allow these quantities in your space or may require building modifications.
