If there is an existing application or award related to this eGC1, enter that information in this section.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Sponsor number at UW | Enter the complete reference number (existing sponsor award number or previous eGC1 #) if this is a renewal, supplement, or extension application.
Include the year of funding this application represents (for example, you could indicate year 2 of a 5 year project as 2/5). Example: 5 R21 CA002176-02 2/5. |
| UW budget number | Provide the UW budget number for the currently funded project. |
| Previous eGC1 number(s) | Enter the previous eGC1 number(s), separated by commas. |
The sponsor is the funding agency to which you are applying for funding.
Use the Look Up Sponsor button to open the Sponsor Chooser. You can search by all or part of a sponsor name, or by the Parent Sponsor Name. Search for and select your sponsor. For a Grant Runner application, you will have selected the sponsor in the wizard.
Note: If you cannot find your sponsor, please follow the instructions on the chooser page to send a request to OSP (osptech@uw.edu) to add the sponsor to the database. If you use a “pending” sponsor as a placeholder, you can start routing your application for approval, but only with RTS=No.
The Sponsor Name, Sponsor Type and Parent sponsor name (if there is one) are automatically filled in by SAGE.
The address and contact fields are not required, but we strongly recommend that you fill them in, as the values are used in the sponsor cover letter sent by OSP.
- For the Address, City, State, Zip, and Country fields, enter the application mailing address of the sponsor as it appears in the sponsor’s application instructions or enter the name and web address (URL) of the sponsor’s electronic proposal submission system (for example: Grants.gov, Research.gov) in the Address field.
- For the Contact Name, Contact Phone, and Contact Email fields, enter the information for the person to be contacted with questions or issues (optional).
Once you have added the sponsor, the Change the sponsor? link displays below the contact information. Note: This link will not appear for a Grant Runner application, as the sponsor is added in the wizard. You cannot change the sponsor once you have completed the wizard.
Originating (Prime) Sponsor
Following the change link, a question about originating sponsor displays. The question reads: Does the funding originate from a different entity than the sponsor listed above (flow-through)? You must answer this question.
If you answer Yes, a button displays for you to look up the sponsor. Once you’ve selected the originating sponsor, its Name, Type, and Parent Name (if there is one) display. You will also see links to change or remove the originating sponsor.
This section provides categorization information about the application. If you are unsure of how to answer these questions, please consult with the Principal Investigator or your local administrator.
You must select both a Project Type and a Sponsored Program Activity Type. The following image shows the Project Details section of the application.
| Project Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Grant | The application is for a specific investigator-initiated project with minimal programmatic involvement from the grantor (sponsor). See Glossary entry for details. |
| Contract | The application’s funding mechanism is a contractual arrangement with specific deliverables and expected outcomes which benefit the sponsor. See Glossary entry for details. |
| Cooperative Agreement | The application is for a federal assistance agreement mechanism that has substantial programmatic involvement by the federal agency. See Glossary entry for details. |
| Other Transaction Authority (OTA) | The application is for a special award mechanism from certain federal agencies that is not a grant contract, or cooperative agreement. See Glossary entry for details. |
Note: Do not use an eGC1 for processing gifts. See Gift Processing for information on this topic.
Sponsored Program Activity Type
Select a value from the drop-down menu. It is organized by Institutional Activity Types: Organized Research, Instruction, and Other Sponsored Activity. For definitions, see GIM 13: Activity Types.
Note: if you choose the type “IPA/JPA/Staff Assignment” then the application is considered to be non-competing.

Clinical Trial Phase
This field will display if you select either of the Clinical Trial values for SPA Type. Select the appropriate value. Choices are: I, II, III, IV, and Other. For definition of these choices, see the Clinical Trials web page.
Application Type
This is used by the system and OSP to classify and organize eGC1 materials. It helps to link related applications to one another (for example, a new application with all its revisions, continuations, and renewals) for improved tracking and reporting.
Select the appropriate type from the drop-down menu. This is a required field.
| Application Types | Description |
|---|---|
| Pre-Application | An application where the sponsor has an evaluation process to screen and determine those applications worthy of an invitation for a full (new) proposal. |
| New | An application for funding for a project that has never been submitted previously. Also known as a “competing application”. |
| Transfer from Another Institution | An existing application or award being transferred from another institution or entity to the UW. Equivalent to “new” at the UW, but distinguished separately for reporting and statistical purposes. |
| Competing Revision | An application for a change to the scope of work an existing project with no further funding obligated by the sponsor. |
| Non-competing Revision | An application for a change to the scope of work for funds previously obligated by the sponsor. |
| Resubmission (Previously Denied) | A revision of an application previously submitted and not funded. Similar to other types of revisions, but distinguished separately for reporting and statistical purposes. This is a competing application. |
| Competing Renewal | An application for the continuation of an existing project with no further funding obligated by the sponsor. |
| Non-Competing Renewal | An application for funds previously obligated by the sponsor. Usually a progress report to-date on the project. |
| Supplemental Extension | An application for additional funding for an existing project and for an extension of the current ending date. |
| Competing Supplement | An application for additional funding for an existing project for funds not already obligated by the sponsor. |
| Non-Competing Supplement | An application for additional funding for an existing project for funds already obligated by the sponsor and for an extension of the current ending date. |
| Non-Award Agreement (new)
Non-Award Agreement (continuation) |
An application for the following types of non-award agreement:
Note: select Non-Award Agreement (continuation) to extend an existing agreement beyond the initial term. When you select an NAA type, you will see a prompt that reads “Budget & Fiscal Compliance entries will be cleared. Do you wish to Continue?” This is to remind you that nothing should be entered on the Budget & Fiscal Compliance page. The system will delete any data that was there. The system will automatically check the After-the-Fact box for an NAA application type. For guidance on completing an NAA type application, see OSP’s NAA eGC1 Instructions FAQ. |
Note: regardless of application type, if the Sponsored Program Activity Type is “IPA/JPA/Staff Assignment” then the application is non-competing.
Grant Runner Application Type Mapping
The eGC1 applications types map to SF424 types as follows:
| eGC1 Type | SF 424 Type |
|---|---|
| Pre-Application, New | New |
| Transfer, Resubmission | Resubmission |
| Competing and Non-Competing Revision | Revision |
| Competing and Non-Competing Renewal | Renewal |
| Supplemental Extension, Competing and Non-Competing Supplement | Continuation |
After the Fact Application
Check this box if the sponsor has already funded this application, or has sent an award letter. This is a required field. For more information, see After-the-Fact (ATF) eGC1s for Awards & Agreements
Note: When you select one of the Non-Award Agreement application types, the system will automatically check the box.
The Organization Code Receiving Funding is the UW’s ten-digit code which identifies the department or unit that will receive funding. Ask your fiscal specialist or department administrator which code you should use.
Note: GCA requires the code to be at the department level or below. See the OPB Orgcode and Budget Number Guidelines for an explanation of organization levels.
The following image shows this section before a code is selected.
Enter your organization code number directly on the page or select Look Up Organization Code to use the Organization Chooser.
Once you have selected the organization code, the associated Box number will appear. You can edit the box number if desired. If you need to change the box number associated with the code, use the “Changes To Existing Org Code Form” available from the Office of Planning & Budgeting web page.
You can also use the +/- buttons to expand and collapse the organization code’s hierarchy. The following image shows an expanded hierarchy.
The Change the Organization Code? link will re-display the chooser so that you can select a different code.
