Award Modification Request Enhancements

    • Details and high-level totals for each worksheet

Award Requests List

  • Holds Indicator Display: When an award-related request (ASR or MOD) has a hold placed on it by either OSP or GCA, an indicator now displays on the Award Requests List. When hovering over the indicator, a prompt encourages review of the item’s comments.

  • Resubmissions Indicator Display (OSP & GCA only): When an item in either OSP Assigned or GCA Assigned status has been resubmitted following a return, those units will see a resubmission indicator on their SAGE Central Award Requests List to help aid prioritization of work.
