How do I know if I should create an Award Setup Request or a Modification Request?
When to Create an Award Setup Request
Create an Award Setup Request (ASR) when you receive a Notice of Award from the sponsor (whether or not OSP is included on the notification) and your award is:
- A new award or
- A competing renewal
New awards and competing renewals are set up in Workday with a new Workday award number.
A new award is an award that is new to the UW or an award that is transferring from another institution.
A competing renewal is an award of new funding to continue an existing project, based on a competing application to the sponsor.
When to Create a Modification Request
Create a Modification Request (MOD) when you are requesting changes to an award that is already set up in Workday Finance.
