You can make a copy of any standard eGC1 that you have access to by clicking on the Copy icon in the top, right corner of the eGC1 page.
Note: When you copy a Grant Runner eGC1, the new eGC1 will be a standard one.
When you select the Copy icon, you will see an information page listing what data is not copied. This information is also detailed below.
Click the Confirm Copy button to complete the process. The page will refresh and will display the Details page of the new eGC1.
You also have the option to Cancel the copy process, or to Print a basic version of the information page for reference.
You may find it useful to copy an eGC1 when you want to:
- Create a template eGC1 with a PI, Contacts, and the Cost Center Receiving Funding to use as the basis for new eGC1s. Leave it in Composing status so you can reuse it as needed
- Revise an earlier application that was not funded
- Submit a non-competing renewal
- Submit a single application to multiple sponsors
Data NOT copied from the original eGC1:
- Specific dates, such as the sponsor deadline, the start and end dates
- Cost Center – either Receiving Funding or Additional Organizational Unit Reviewers: If a Cost Center on your original eGC1 is above the department level or expired, the system will not copy it, so you will need to select a new Cost Center
- Sponsor: If the sponsor on your original eGC1 is no longer active, the system will not copy it, so you will need to select a new sponsor.
- Connected Budgets
- Cost Sharing data
- Personnel Investigator Status; it will default to Yes
- Answers to Compliance Questions
- Attached files
- Sponsor forms included in Grant Runner applications
- The Approval Graph
- Any Post-Approval Personnel Changes
When viewing the worksheet for the main (parent) budget, or a sub budget, you will see a set of icons at the upper right of the sheet. They allow you to make adjustments to what you see on the worksheet, and to perform actions on the worksheet. The set of icons are shown in the following image, and are numbered left to right.
The icons are:
- Full Screen Budget, and Close Full Screen Budget
- Show all sub-object budget lines, and Hide all sub-object budget lines
- Print Budget
- Export Budget to Excel
- Create a copy of this budget – this feature is no longer available.
- Delete this budget – this feature is no longer available
Display Full Screen
These icons allow you to choose how you view the worksheet within the browser window.
The “magnifier with plus” icon (to the left) allows you to expand the worksheet to fill the whole browser window, allowing you to see more of the sheet details, rather than the SAGE and budget tabs.
The “magnifier with minus” icon (to the right) returns you to the standard view. When you’re in full screen mode, you can also use the Close Full Screen link in the upper-left corner of the screen.
Show All Sub-Object Budget Lines
You can use these icons to fully expand all of the line items in your budget.
The “plus” icon expands the worksheet, and displays the sub-object lines you have already entered and the Add buttons for each section.
The “minus” icon contracts the worksheet back to displaying just the object code summary lines.
Print the Budget
This icon displays a printable copy of your budget.
A new browser window will appear with the budget data formatted for printing.
The output includes two different formats of the data: the first is line-by-line for all periods; the second is to help you complete the SR 424 (R&R) Detailed Budget used in Grants.gov submissions.
Export the Budget to Excel
This icon exports your budget as an Excel spreadsheet.
You will be prompted to open Excel.
The output includes two different formats of the data: the first is line-by-line for all periods; the second is to help you complete the SR 424 (R&R) Detailed Budget used in Grants.gov submissions.
Note: only the values export, not the formulas.

This feature is available for Modular, Detailed, and Subaward budgets on a Grant Runner eGC1.
Once you have entered one new period on your budget, the next time you click the Add New Budget Period button, you will have to option to copy the prior existing period.
The reference in the dialog Note to “subtotals related to attachments” applies to just the Detailed and Subaward budgets.
The Start and End Dates for the period created by copying will default to the same dates as a new, non-copied period. The start date will be one day after the previous period’s end date, and the end date will be one year after the start date.
For example, if the period you are copying has the dates July 1, 2023 to June 30, 2024, then the newly created period will have the dates July 1, 2024 to June 30, 2025.
