SAGE Suite Email Notifications

Depending on your association with an eGC1 application as it is approved, and possibly awarded, you may receive a number of different email notifications.

Email notifications are sent from various parts of the SAGE Suite:

Those notifications may be sent to:

  • The PI, investigators, eGC1 preparer, and contacts on an application
  • Watchers and approvers of an application
  • The preparer of an advance budget request
  • The preparer of an award request

Some notifications are entirely system-generated, while others have standard paragraphs that can be included and then customized. The customized emails don’t link to examples.

FIDS Notifications

The FIDS system sends email notifications related to financial disclosures. Each one is listed below along with the conditions that generate the email being sent as well as the individuals the email is sent to (we can never promise that messages are received). Emails sent to investigators use the email address in their FIDS Profile. Select a link in the Email column to display an example of the email contents.

Email Purpose Sent When Sent To
Disclosure Notification To let the investigator know a disclosure needs to be completed for this eGC1. The email is only sent once to each investigator. At the same time the notification is sent, a pending disclosure is created.

Exception: If the investigator doesn’t yet have an email address in their FIDS Profile, the email is instead sent to the eGC1 Preparer to forward to the investigator.

Send Disclosure Notification button is clicked on the eGC1 PI & Personnel page -OR- the eGC1 is completed without the button having been clicked (a daily batch job sends the email at 7:00 AM).

If an investigator had already completed a disclosure before the notification was sent, then no notification would be sent.
