How do I submit a subaward request on award when it only allows for a Funding Action?

Modifications to Subawards for Funding Actions Established in SAGE Before 7/07/2023

For modifications to subawards with pre- existing Funding Actions (existed in SAGE before 7/7/2023). In the SAGE Subaward Module you can select the most recent FA. Include a note within the special instructions box that indicates the Prime Award SAGE Modification (MOD) #.

Submitting a Subaward Request in SAGE for Awards Established after 7/07/2023

For new awards with no Funding Actions (FAs), there is not currently a way to request the subaward through SAGE. ORIS is doing its best to enable this capability very soon. It is targeted for October release at this time, but work is still in progress.
