September 2023 Awards Updates and Grant Runner Forms-H

New Features & Completed Updates

  • Search in Award Requests List: Users can now search in the Award Requests list by eGC1 ID or Request ID (Advance, Award Setup Request, or Modification Request).
  • Change the Linked SAGE Budget from an Award Setup Request: Users can now disconnect a mistakenly connected SAGE Budget from an Award Setup Request in “Composing,” “Returned,” or “Withdrawn” status.
  • Required Field Validations: The Award Setup Requests will now show a validation message if the worksheet/award line PI or Security Grant Hierarchy are missing. Users will be guided back to the SAGE Budget worksheet settings to make those updates.
  • Cost Centers in Copied eGC1s: When an eGC1 is copied, the Cost Centers from the original eGC1 will now flow to the copy and be added to the approval graph automatically. Only active Cost Centers will be copied.
  • Error Message Improvements: Award Setup Requests and Modification Request error pages will now display additional information to assist with troubleshooting.
  • Grant Runner Updated with FORMS-H
    • FORMS-H Research Plan Form Now Available in Grant Runner: The updated PHS 398 Research Plan form is available for National Institutes of Health (NIH) applications. This update will support the high volume opportunities due early October, such as R01, R03, and R21 types. For more information, review our previous NIH FORMS-H announcement.
    • Legal Names on Forms: As a result of the SAGE changeover to display preferred name on eGC1s, an adjustment was made to Grant Runner forms to instead show Legal Name by default for the PD/PI, since this is most often the name that matches the eRACommons account. The legal name will now sync across SF424, Key Persons, and RR Budget forms for the PD/PI. In the future, we will add a feature to allow users to explicitly identify what their eRACommons name and login is to further reduce discrepancies and allow submissions to go through more smoothly.
    • Future FORMS-H Releases: The PHS 398 Career Development Award Supplemental form and PHS Fellowship Supplemental form are targeted for release in Grant Runner later this fall.
  • Budget Visibility on Award Setup Requests: An issue was resolved where budget detail on Award Setup Requests was at times not showing for items that were in a read-only state for the user, such as “Processed.”

The Award Requests list page displays your Award Setup Requests (ASRs) and Modification Requests (MODs) in process. Review the Managing Your SAGE Award Requests List video for a demonstration of features with examples.

Use this section of your award to review the Significant Financial Interest (SFI) and Financial Conflict of Interest (FCOI) Training status of the investigators on the associated eGC1 application. The table lists each investigator, their role, SFI disclosure submission status, and FCOI training status. If any investigators are not up-to-date, an alert appears above the table. The green check marks will indicate at a glance if training and disclosures are up-to-date.

SFI Disclosure Requirement

An investigator’s disclosure status is either “Up-to-date” or “Disclosure Required”. Each investigator must have completed an SFI disclosure in FIDS for the associated eGC1 application whether or not they have any financial interests to disclose. If the investigator submitted that disclosure more than 12 months ago from the current date, and has not created another disclosure of any kind within the past 12 months, the investigator would need to submit an annual update disclosure.

To view and confirm the SFI review status, review the investigator’s disclosure history on the eGC1 PI, Personnel, & Organizations page. From the ASR, select the eGC1 link in the upper right of the header, then click the PI, Personnel & Organizations section and locate the Investigator Disclosure History link within the Compliance Details section.

The Personnel page on an eGC1 showing Investigator information including Compliance Details.

FCOI Training Requirement

If the eGC1 application’s sponsor, regulations, or other terms and conditions require FCOI Training, the investigator’s FCOI training must also be “up-to-date.” The training expires after four years. If the investigator’s training is not current, their status is “Training Required”. The investigator must be notified about the training requirement via email from OR. Please review GIM 10 for additional information.

Note: Updates to NIH’s Other Support requirement NOT-OD-25-133 may require investigators to complete the FCOI & Other Support training prior to the listed expiration date. For additional information review Current and Pending, or Other Support guidance.

Below the table is a link to the parent eGC1 application’s PI, Personnel, & Organizations page where you can update the list of investigators. If you make changes, the award will automatically update.

The following image shows an example of an investigator who is not up-to-date for neither SFI disclosure nor FCOI training.

Approval Flow

To approve an Award Setup Request, log in to SAGE and click on the Awards tab.

awards tab in SAGE

Select the award to review from the list or use the Advanced Search link to find a specific award.

On the left navigation menu, select Approvals.

The approval flow reads from top to bottom. Some approver nodes may grouped and, within the group, can be approved in any order.

The first node lists the Award Preparer(s), then any added Ad Hoc Reviewers, followed by nodes for OSP and GCA.

The following image shows the approval flow, with an ad hoc reviewer, for an Award Setup Request before any approvals have occurred:

A S R approval flow with an ad hoc reviewer

As the Award Preparer, when you select Submit & Route in the Review & Submit section, your node will turn green and indicate the submission, as shown in the processed approval flow image at the end of this article. Note: Once you have routed the award, the OSP node will be ready for review, and you will no longer have the option to add an ad hoc reviewer.

Add/Remove an Ad Hoc Reviewer

If you can edit the Award Setup Request, you can add an Ad Hoc Reviewer (that is, a reviewer for a particular purpose only) to the approval flow. These manually-added reviewers could be a person that needs to review and approve the Award Setup Request in addition to the Award Preparer.

You can add a person by selecting the plus sign (+) that appears on the approval flow. Once the award is ready for review by GCA, the plus sign (+) before GCA will no longer display.

When you select the plus sign (+), an Add Reviewer dialog window displays. Enter a comment for this reviewer, which is required. Then search by name or NetID for the person you want to add. The Add Reviewer button will then be enabled for you to select. The approval flow will update to show the added node, and the reviewer will be notified when their node is ready for review, like the other approvers.

The following image shows the Add Reviewer dialog window:

advance add ad hoc reviewer

To delete the added reviewer, select the 3-dot menu icon in the node and select “Remove reviewer.” A confirmation dialog window displays.

The following image shows the Remove Reviewer dialog window:

Processed Award Setup Request Flow Example

The following image shows an example of the approval flow for an Award Setup Request in Processed status:

example approval flow of process award setup request

When you receive a Notice of Award (NoA) for a new award or a competing renewal, you will need to create an Award Setup Request (ASR) in SAGE to initiate the actions needed to setup your award in Workday Finance. If you are uncertain whether to create an Award Setup Request or a Modification Request, refer to the How do I know if I should create an Award Setup Request or a Modification Request? FAQ.

Before Getting Started

In order to create an Award Setup Request, you will need to be listed on the Contacts and Access page of the proposal eGC1. If you are not already listed, you will need to ask one of the owners to add you to the eGC1 as an owner or with read/write access. You can view the owners on the eGC1 by going to the eGC1 Forms section in SAGE, clicking on Advanced Search, entering the eGC1 and clicking Search. In the results row, click on the Contacts link at the far right, to view the Owners that can grant you access to the eGC1.

Note: Read-Only access will not provide access to edit or create award items.

Contacts button on eCG1

As an alternative, an existing eGC1 contact can create the ASR, and add you as an award preparer to the ASR, for you to continue the process.

Create a Request

To create an ASR, start at the Awards tab and select the Create A Request button at the upper right.

Note: You can also start a new request from the Award Requests tasklist.

The following image shows the Awards tab in SAGE.

awards tab in SAGE

When you select the Create A Request button, a menu displays with the option to create an Award Setup Request.

The following image shows this menu:

Create a Request button selection: options for creating an Award Setup Request, creating an OSP-GCA Mod, or creating a GCA-only Mod

Select Award Setup Request from the menu. Use the search to find the associated eGC1 application. You can search by eGC1 number, PI (Principal Investigator), or Short Title (short name), then select the desired eGC1.

Image for create award setup request box. Search eCG1s by number, PI, or short name.

Only eGC1s in Approved status and not already linked to an Award Setup Request will display. eGC1s for Non-Award Agreement or Pre-Applications will not display.

Image of Create Award Setup Request dialog box. Select the application associated with this award

An Award Setup Request form will open, displaying the General Information page by default. SAGE auto-fills details from your eGC1 (Short Title, Full Title, Sponsor, Bill to Sponsor, and PI).

The left navigation menu displays all of the required sections of the ASR at top, and the additional Approval flow, Access & Roles, and Comments & History sections at the bottom. You can use the left navigation to switch between forms, or within each form you will see a Next Section button in the lower right navigation as an alternative.

Image of the Next Section button

The following image shows the navigation menu, with the General Information section highlighted. If all of the required information is entered for a given section, you will see a grey checkmark next to the section name.

Menu options General Information, Budget and Award Lines, SFI and FCOI, Supporting Attachments, Review and Submit, Approvals, Access and Roles

ASR Information Entry

The auto-filled information on the Award Setup Request can be updated, with the exception of the PI, since information may change between time of proposal and time of award. You can also update the award’s start and end dates, funding amounts, and other details, as needed. See detail on each individual section’s entry requirements in the section-by-section help documentation listed below:

You can also refer to the Checklist: Award Setup Request – Steps for PI/Campus for step-by-step guidance when you receive a Notice of Award.

A SAGE Budget is required for all Award Setup Requests (ASR), and is connected to the ASR on the Budget and Award Lines page. You can learn more about creating a SAGE award budget on the SAGE Budget Resources page. Note that Clinical Trial budgets reviewed by the UW CTO do not need to contain any amounts, only the necessary data needed for Workday award setup, as outlined in the Creating a Clinical Trials Budget for SAGE Awards job aid.

Connect Budget Breakdown from SAGE Budget

Your SAGE award budget identifies how you would like your awarded funds to be set up in Workday. A SAGE Budget is required as indicated by the red asterisk.

Create your SAGE Budget

Create a new award budget in SAGE Budget or copy and modify an existing SAGE Budget. The level of detail required for the award budget should be tailored to the sponsor’s requirements and campus unit needs. Award budgets are often less detailed than proposal budgets. It is usually simpler to create a new award budget from scratch.

Review the Quick Tips for Simplifying Your Award Budget in SAGE job aid for more information.

Ensure the Sponsor Total on the General Information page matches the Budget Total on the Budget and Award Lines page of the ASR; otherwise, you will be unable to route your award.

Note: Since the “Primary Worksheet’s” name integrates into Workday as the Grant Name, it is best to title the “Primary Worksheet” as you want it represented in Workday.

Connect your SAGE Budget

Once you have created your SAGE award budgetwith amounts and periods that match your notice of awardconnect your budget to the Award Setup Request. In the Search for a budget box you can type a budget title, budget number or PI last name to display all eligible budgets matching your criteria.

Note: Eligible budgets include SAGE Budgets that are not currently connected to an eGC1 or another ASR.

The following image shows the search box:

budget and award lines connect budget breakdown

Next, select your budget from the results list:

Select your Budget from the results list

After your budget is connected, the following information will display:

  • Budget name and BudgetID.
  • Open Budget button.
    • This opens the connected SAGE Budget in a new browser tab.
  • A list of the Period(s) connected with start date and end date.
    • SAGE will automatically select Period 1.
    • Select any additional periods authorized by your sponsor.

Information shown when connecting your Budget

Note: Any changes made to your SAGE Budget will sync to the Award Setup Request form, until the Award Setup Request is submitted. Changes can also be made to the budget when the ASR is in Returned status.

SNAP Award Period Setup: To streamline the SNAP award process and eliminate the need for temporary budget extensions, SNAP awards will be set up for the full anticipated duration of the award. Therefore, select all budget periods at time of ASR. However, also note that only period 1 should contain amounts. Future periods should contain $0, until the supplemental modification comes through for the next period. Review NIH SNAP: A Detailed Guide for Completing the Award Setup Request in SAGE for more details.

Note: You will be required to ensure the connected budget start and end dates align with the General Information page before submitting.  When the dates do not match, you will see the following validation message at the top of the Budget & Award Lines section.

connected budget start and end date validation message

Change the Connected Budget

You can change the connected SAGE Budget if the status is:

  • Composing
  • Returned, but only if OSP has not approved
  • Withdrawn (available only when routing to an ad hoc approver)

A Change Budget link will display to the right of the Open Budget link, as shown in the following image:

award setup request change budget link

Selecting this link will open the Change Budget? dialog window. You can search for the desired budget by budget title, BudgetID number, or PI.

The following image shows the dialog window:

award setup request change budget dialog

Select your budget from the results list and select the Change Budget button. The page will update to reflect the updated information.

View the Award Budget By Period

The Award Budget By Period portion of the Budget & Award Lines form section includes a tab for each period selected, with its description, and an “All Periods” tab on the left if more than one period was selected.

Award Budget By Period Section

To the right of the section are three buttons:

  • Expand Budget: opens the Award Line Details sections for the entire budget.
  • Collapse Budget: closes the Award Line Details sections for the entire budget.
  • Customize Details View: allows you to customize your view of budget data by toggling Object Class Details and Award Line Details on or off. Whichever setting is applied in the Budget and Award Lines section is also displayed in the Review & Submit section.

The following image shows these buttons with the Customize Details View expanded:

As you scroll down to view the details of your budget, the Expand Budget and Collapse Budget buttons will continue to be visible.

The following image shows the collapsed view of a budget with a single award line.

Each SAGE Budget worksheet will show as a row on the ASR Budget page. The first row is the Primary Worksheet.

The first column, Worksheet / Award Line, displays the following information:

  • Worksheet Title
  • F&A Rate
  • Base Type
  • Location
  • Sponsored Program Activity Type

Selecting the blue caret (>) to the left of the worksheet title displays the Object Class with Ledger details and the Award Line Details section for that individual award line. See detail below.

The remaining columns display the costs for that category:

  • Total Direct Costs
  • Costs Subject to F&A
  • Total F&A
  • Fees
  • Total Costs

For a single Period, there is a Period Total row. For the All Periods view, there are Budget Total, Sponsor Awarded Total, and Difference rows.

Important: The Difference row compares the amounts between the Budget Total Costs and the Sponsor Awarded Total on the General Information page. Any difference is expected to be resolved prior to submission or you can expect a return. Review the Guidelines for a Budget Difference Between the SAGE Award Budget and the Sponsor Award job aid for tips on reconciling the difference.

Object Class and Spend Category Details

This section displays when the Expand Budget button is selected. It shows a breakdown of the ASR’s linked budget amounts by the categories that will integrate to the Workday plan. The amounts are aggregated by Ledger, Object Class, and Spend Category for each award line and period.

The following image shows an example of this section:

Screenshot showing examples of expanded Object Class with Ledger Details, Spend Category Summaries, and Totals.

    When you go to the Budget & Award Lines page, you will see an alert to “Expand your worksheets to see missing required information you will need to complete before you can submit this request.”

    You will also see the yellow alert on the specific worksheet that contains the missing information. When you expand the worksheet, you will see the specific detail in need of correction. Missing details that may need to be provided within the expanded worksheet section include: missing PIs, Cost Centers, Security Grant Hierarchies, and F&A details.

    Image showing budget and award lines page with alerts to complete missing data in your SAGE Budget worksheet

    Mismatched Totals

    If the Sponsor Total on the General Information page does not match the Budget Total on the Budget & Award Lines page of the ASR, you will be unable to route your award.

    Alerts will display on both the Budget & Award Lines page and the Review & Submit page.

    Subaward Cost Alert

    Award budgets require each subaward to have its own separate worksheet in SAGE Budget. If instead you entered the subaward amount on a primary or internal worksheet as a 03-62 expense, the alert in the ASR will indicate “Your budget contains at least one subaward cost. Award budgets require subawards set up as a Subaward Worksheet. Remove 03-62 Outside Services—Subcontract (Proposal Budget Only) costs from your worksheet(s) and create new Subaward Worksheet(s).”

    The following image shows an example of the alert:

    Image showing Subaward cost alert requesting removal of 03-62 costs from budget worksheet and to add a new subaward worksheet

    Return Reason Alerts

    If an ad hoc reviewer, OSP, or GCA returns the ASR to you, you will see who returned the item, along with the Return Reason, displayed on the Review & Submit page as an alert. You will also see this same information in the Comments & History section.

    Selecting this button will move your award to “Withdrawn” status and make it editable. It will also add an entry to the Comments & History section.

    In the Approvals section, the approval flow will reflect the change in status. A node will indicate who withdrew the request, along with the date. The final node will display “Withdrawn,” and any unapproved nodes will be marked as canceled.

    Withdraw capability is not allowed while the request is in “OSP Assigned” or “GCA Assigned” status, since the units may be actively working on the request.
