Pop-up windows are separate browser windows that open from a single web site. This can occur when the user clicks on a button or link within a web page, or when a web page automatically opens other windows.
SAGE uses pop-up windows, for example, on the eGC1 Certify & Route page to display eGC1 errors in a separate window, to display the eGC1 in a printer friendly format, and for displaying other information that needs to be printed.
To use these features in SAGE, you must configure your browser:
- To either temporarily disallow or turn off pop-up blocking, OR
- To allow pop-up windows from SAGE
Open a new browser window and without navigating anywhere, complete the directions in the Pop-Up & Pop-Up Blockers handout for the type of computer and browser that you use.
The PI Assurance Statement appears on the eGC1 Certify & Route page when the PI is editing the eGC1, as shown in the following image.
The statement reads:
Principal Investigator/Program Director Assurance: I certify that the statements in this eGC1 and the related sponsor application are true, complete and accurate to the best of my knowledge. I am aware that any false, fictitious, or fraudulent statements or claims may subject me to criminal, civil, or administrative penalties. I agree to accept responsibility for the scientific conduct of the project and to provide the required progress reports if a grant is awarded as a result of this application.
If this is a multiple PI application, I understand that if I am the eGC1 PI, my approval of the eGC1 indicates I have obtained written assurances from external PIs named in this application that include this Non-UW Multiple PI Assurance Statement.
The approval/agreement reads:
I am the PI and I have read and agree with the PI Assurance Statement. I understand that approving this eGC1 electronically is equivalent to my signature.
If the PI approves the eGC1 when it is routing, the Assurance Statement will display in the approval dialog as part of that approval.
Our federal sponsors requested we include an Assurance Statement. Principal Investigators must certify to the truth and accuracy of all sponsor application contents, acknowledge that penalties could apply if wrong-doing is found, and accept responsibility for scientific conduct and submission of project reports for funded projects.
PI approval of this eGC1 and application in SAGE is equivalent to, and may replace, their signature on the sponsor face page.
Application PI
A UW Application PI is added to an eGC1 approval graph when the eGC1 is created. Just like UW PIs, the UW Application PI provides their assurance via approval of an eGC1.
UW Multiple PIs
UW Multiple PIs are added to an eGC1 approval graph when the eGC1 is created. Just like UW PIs, UW Multiple PIs provide their assurance via approval of an eGC1.
Non-UW Application or Multiple PI
The eGC1 PI is responsible for securing and retaining a Multiple PI Assurance Statements from any Non-UW Multiple PIs or Application PI in their local unit files.

UW Abstract
The eGC1 abstract should express the purpose and essence of the proposed activity in language understandable to non-specialists. Those charged with explaining the University’s research programs to the public and the state government, including the Board of Regents and the Office of News and Information, rely heavily upon the abstract. For this reason, the abstract entered on the eGC1 should be less technical than the abstract on the application submitted to the sponsor. The importance of preparing it carefully cannot be overemphasized.
The abstract field does not have a word limit.
