This article covers the following:

Overview

You can use the Sponsor Budget Map page to understand how your SAGE Budget personnel data will initially flow to the RR Detailed Budget form.

In the (01) Salary and Wages section on the Sponsor Budget Map page, you will see one row for each person on your parent budget and any internal sub budgets.

Based on the Project Role you selected for each person in SAGE Budget, each person will map to either the RR Detailed Budget Section A. Senior/Key Person or Section B. Other Personnel.

The columns in this section of the Sponsor Budget Map are:

  • From SAGE Budget: displaying its Expense Type and Project Role
  • To RR Detailed Budget: displaying its Category and Project Role
  • Personnel Order: displaying the relative position in the Section A list for this person. Note: this column is unique to the 01 section.

Initially, you will see the personnel listed in the same Project Role order as on your SAGE Budget. Any personnel from internal sub budgets will display just after those on the parent budget, within each role.

You can adjust the default RR Detailed Budget Project Roles, except for the person who is the PD/PI. In some cases, you can change the default RR Detailed Budget Category (Section A or B).

Optionally, you can change the Personnel Order for those mapped to the RR Detailed Budget Section A by using the “Drag to Re-Order” feature (described below).

For personnel in Section B, in addition to the four default Project Roles, you can create customized ones.

Section A. Senior/Key Persons

When you first view the Sponsor Budget Map page, you will see the personnel listed in the same Project Role order as on your SAGE Budget. Any personnel from internal sub budgets will display just after those from the parent budget, within each role.

Mapping Rules

The following table defines the initial mapping rules and indicates whether the default value can be edited (changed).

SAGE Budget Project Role RR Detailed Budget Project Role Can the Role Be Edited?
Principal Investigator PD/PI; if there is also an Applicant PI, then this role defaults to Faculty Only if “Faculty” role
Application PI PD/PI No
Co-Investigator Co-Investigator No
Multiple PI PD/PI No
Key Personnel Depends on the 01 sub-object code selected; defined below Yes
Mentor Faculty Yes. Note: You can map this person to Section B, if appropriate
Faculty Faculty No

If you selected Key Personnel for someone’s project role on your SAGE Budget, their sub-object code will determine the default role on the RR Detailed Budget.

01 Sub-Object Codes Project Role on Detailed Budget
10-14 Instruction & Research Faculty Co-Investigator
20-24 Auxiliary Teaching Staff Other Professional
30-34 Graduate School Student Appointments – Teaching Graduate Student
40-44 Graduate School Student Appointments – Non-Teaching Graduate Student
50-54 Postdoctoral Research Trainee Post Doctoral Associates
60-64 Classified Staff Other Professional
70-74 Professional Staff Other Professional
80-87 Temporary Staff Other Professional
88-89 Hourly Undergraduate Students
90-94 Graduate Stipends Graduate Students

As needed, you can change the role. Project Role choices for the RR Detailed Budget form are:

  • Co-PD/PI
  • Faculty
  • Post Doctoral
  • Post Doctoral Associates
  • Post Doctoral Scholar
  • Other Professional
  • Graduate Students
  • Undergraduate Students
  • Technician
  • Consultant
  • Co-Investigator

Drag to Re-Order Feature

You can use this feature to adjust the order of the personnel mapped to Section A of the RR Detailed Budget. The Personnel Order column displays the text “RR Detailed Budget Position” followed by a number, indicating that person’s place in the order.

The Application PI (if present) will display on the first row.  If your budget does not include an Application PI, then the Principal Investigator will be listed first.

After the PD/PI or Application PI (if present), the default order of the personnel entries is by Category (Section A or B) and, within each category, by Project Role with Parent Budget and Sub-Budget personnel grouped together. For example:

  • Multiple PI (parent)
  • Multiple PI (sub budget)
  • Co-Investigator (parent)
  • Co-Investigator (sub-budget)
  • Key Personnel (parent)
  • Key Personnel (sub-budget)

You can use your mouse, or the keyboard, to choose a person’s row to re-order. Move the row up or down to update the position number for that person. Note that the form can list up to eight individuals. Any additional personnel are included in the Additional Senior Key Persons attachment, described below. The PD/PI must be one of the initial eight people listed.

Personnel mapped to Section B will have the note “Not applicable” in the Personnel Order column. You can drag them to a different position on the mapping page, but the next time you view the mapping page, the order will have returned to the Section A personnel followed by those mapped to Section B.

Any changes you make on your connected SAGE Budget or the Sponsor Budget Map page will be reflected on the RR Detailed Budget form when you view it. The ordering of Personnel on both the Sponsor Budget Map page and the RR Detailed Budget form will match the last ordered sequence you created and saved on the Sponsor Budget map page. Any newly entered Personnel, after the initial synchronization, will sort to the bottom of the Sponsor Budget Map page order by default.

Additional Senior Key Persons Attachment on RR Detailed Budget

Section A can display up to eight individuals on the RR Detailed Budget form. You must list any additional personnel in an attachment to the form. When you initially connect your SAGE Budget and Grant Runner application, SAGE will automatically generate and attach the PDF file listing any additional personnel. The file will be named to reflect the budget period. For example, the attachment for Period 3 of your budget will be named “Period_3_Personnel.pdf”. In addition, the system will calculate the Total Funds for Attached Persons value and display it.

Any time you add or remove Section A personnel from your SAGE Budget, or change their order on the Sponsor Budget Map page, the PDF attachment will automatically be recreated to reflect those changes, if necessary.

Section B. Other Personnel

Personnel that map to Section B are combined into the appropriate rows, with their data values totaled.

Mapping Rules

If you select one of these SAGE Budget Project Roles, the individual will be added to the corresponding role in Section B:

  • Post Doctoral Associates
  • Graduate Students
  • Undergraduate Students
  • Secretarial / Clerical

On the Sponsor Budget Map page, you can shift personnel with the Post Doctoral Associate role to the A: Senior/Key Persons section. You cannot edit the other project roles from the Sponsor Budget Map page. You would change them on your SAGE Budget.

If you select Other for someone’s project role on your SAGE Budget, that person’s sub-object code will determine the default role on the RR Detailed Budget.

 

SAGE Budget Personnel Sub-Object Code RR Detailed Budget Project Role Default Value
10-14 – Instruction & Research Faculty Select…
20-24 – Auxiliary Teaching Staff Select…
30-34 – Graduate School Student Appointments – Teaching Graduate Students
40-44 – Graduate School Student Appointments – Non-Teaching Graduate Students
50-54 – Postdoctoral Research Trainee Post Doctoral Associates
60-64 – Classified Staff Secretarial / Clerical
70-74 – Professional Staff Select…
80-87 – Temporary Staff Select…
88, 89 – Hourly Undergraduate Students
90-94 – Graduate Stipends Graduate Students

When “Select…” displays, you can choose one of the four existing Section B roles listed above, or you create up to six different, customized roles.

  • Funds Requested ($): System calculated: Requested Salary plus Fringe Benefits

This page contains the following sections.

Overview

The Sponsor Budget Map page shows where the expenses from your connected SAGE Budget will flow to on the RR Detailed Budget form.

A link to the Sponsor Budget Map page will appear on the left navigation menu once you connect your SAGE Budget to your Grant Runner application and the RR Detailed Budget form is either mandatory for your opportunity, or you have selected it.

Use the Sponsor Budget Map page when you have expenses that are not mapped to default fields on the RR Detailed Budget form, or you need to adjust the defaults. A red exclamation “validation icon” will display if you need to complete any mappings.

Note: The Sponsor Budget Map page does not show dollar amounts. It shows you how the various expenses on your budget are categorized for the RR Detailed Budget form. For some expenses, you can use the Sponsor Budget Map to change where and how your data displays on the RR Detailed Budget form.

The following image shows the Sponsor Budget Map link on the left navigation menu.

sponsor budgt map link on left nav menu

Note: If the budget you connect does not yet contain any expenses (costs), you will see an alert message. It reads “Whoops! You connected a budget with no expenses. Navigate to your SAGE Budget to add expenses.”

The following image shows the message.

sponsor budget map page alert for no expenses

Data Synchronization

After the initial connection of your SAGE Budget and Grant Runner application, any data changes you make to your SAGE Budget will be synchronized with both the RR Detailed Budget form and Sponsor Budget Map page. Any changes you make on the Sponsor Budget Map page will be reflected on the RR Detailed Budget form when you view it.

Your data changes will also be reflected in the PDF generated when you select View Grant Runner forms (PDF) on the left navigation menu.

Using the Sponsor Budget Map

The Sponsor Budget Map page initially shows where the SAGE Budget expenses will appear, by default, on the RR Detailed Budget. Where editable, you can choose to shift those expenses to a different category on the RR Detailed Budget. You can also specify the order of the personnel entries for Section A. Senior/Key Persons.

The Map page includes a link to your budget, just above the first section, that displays the budget number and title. For example: “B32836 Guide: Example Budget” as shown in the following image.

link to budget highlighted

Below the link, there is a section for each expense type (object code) on your connected SAGE Budget. By default, the sections are all collapsed when you first view the page. You can “Expand All” sections or just individual ones.

The sections you see will match those where you have entered data in your parent SAGE Budget and any sub budgets. The possible sections are:

General Section Layout

SAGE Budget data is displayed on the left side of the page, in the same order as your SAGE Budget. The RR Detailed Budget expense category to which the expense will be mapped is shown on the right side.

Each section will display a status icon to indicate the status of the data within the section. A red exclamation point indicates that there are one or more expenses from your SAGE Budget that you need to map to an RR Detailed Budget category or sub-category. A green check mark indicates that all mappings are resolved. The Participant/Trainee Support Costs section shows a gray check mark icon if one or more of the optional mappings are unresolved.

The following images show examples of each type of status icon: green, red, and gray.

example of green check mark icon

example of red exclamation point icon

Adjust Expense Categories

You can change a number of SAGE Budget expense categories from the default value to another category on the RR Detailed Budget. Use the drop-down menus in the right-hand column to make changes to the default mapping between SAGE Budget and the RR Detailed Budget form. Some selections are grayed-out to indicate that the SAGE Budget object code cannot be mapped to that selection. For example, Travel costs cannot be assigned to Other Personnel.

Create Customized Categories

For some expenses that map to Section F: Other Direct Costs, there is no default sub-category. You must make a selection. These expenses are:

  • Supplies & Materials 05-47, 05-48
  • Student Aid 08-00, 08-02, 08-05
  • Unallocated 38-00

You can either select one of the existing sub-categories, or create a customized one. You can add up to 10 custom (user defined) sub-categories for Section F. The custom fields will be listed in object code order on the budget form.

Click on “Select…” in the drop-down menu and choose “Other…” You made need to scroll down the list.

May 2018 Compliance Release 2

New Non-Fiscal Compliance page

The eGC1 Compliance Questions and Explanations pages have been replaced by a new page called Non-Fiscal Compliance. This consolidation provides a more streamlined experience for preparers and reviewers.

Updated questions reflect current institutional needs, with improved clarity in mind.  Links to supporting guidance have been added to assist preparers in understanding the policies and regulations behind each question. You can review the updated questions by visiting this page..

Design improvements make the page easier to navigate and gauge progress toward completion.

human subjects with H S 1 C answered yes

eGC1s that are in routing at the time of this release will display the old compliance questions that existed when the eGC1 was initially routed.

However, any eGC1 that is returned or withdrawn after the release will be reset with the new compliance questions. Answers to the previous questions will no longer display. Plan for additional time to re-complete that page in case a return or withdrawal is necessary.

Zipline and Hoverboard linked to eGC1

Human Subject (Zipline) and Animal Use (Hoverboard) protocols can now be linked to your eGC1. Searching by IRB Application Number or IACUC Protocol Number will allow you to pull in real-time information, reducing manual back-and-forth between systems and improving the accuracy of protocol details in SAGE.

animal use section with hoverboard protocol

Improved Collaboration

Send page link to PI, Reviewers

From any standard eGC1 page (excluding Grant Runner forms), the URL is now a direct link that you can copy and share with others who have access to that eGC1. This will be particularly useful when collaborating with the PI on completing the Non-Fiscal Compliance page.

direct U R L for e G C 1 page

Multi-User Editing (limited)

Currently, only one person can edit an eGC1 at a time. However, the Non-Fiscal Compliance page can now be edited, even while someone else is working in other areas of the eGC1. This will avoid situations where the PI could be blocked from contributing to the Non-Fiscal Compliance page while the administrator is currently editing other areas of the proposal.

April 2018 SAGE Grant Runner Release

SAGE Grant Runner

NIH Required Fields Added to HSCT

To assist researchers in filling out the Human Subjects & Clinical Trials (HSCT) form, NIH required fields are now indicated with an asterisk and red highlighting. These same fields will have validation messages when the user clicks “Show Form Errors” at the top of the form. All NIH errors and validations will continue to show when the full application is checked by clicking “Check for Errors” in the left navigation of SAGE.

eGC1 Data Sync Improvements with Grant Runner Forms

To help prevent data inconsistencies when multiple browser sessions are open, the data sync between the eGC1 and Grant Runner forms has been improved.  When you make updates to information in the eGC1 that flows through to Grant Runner forms, those updates will now automatically sync with each save/refresh of the eGC1.

Improved Accessibility for  Keyboard and Tab Order Functionality

To meet accessibility standards, all Grant Runner forms are now accessible using keyboard only functionality.  In addition, tab order has been improved to be more logical and intuitive, reducing the number of times the user has to press the tab key.  

Error Messages Enhanced

Question numbers have been added to error messages on all Grant Runner forms. This update will help users quickly identify the specific error within a form.  This will be especially helpful for longer forms such as the new Human Subjects & Clinical Trials form.

Applications

On the Non-Fiscal Compliance page, in the Data & Technology section, if you answer Yes to questions D-2 and/or D-4, the system will automatically add a hold for Export Control. The hold will be added when the eGC1 reaches In OSP status.

Funding Actions

When OSP creates a child Funding Action (FA) for an awarded eGC1, the system will automatically create compliance holds, if appropriate.

The system applies automatic holds to the FA based on the conditions in the following chart.

Compliance Hold Due to
Administrative Support Budget & Fiscal Compliance page: question F2 = Yes
F&A Budget & Fiscal Compliance page: question F1 = Yes
IRB Approval Non-Fiscal Compliance page: question HS-1 = Yes
Cost Share Budget & Fiscal Compliance page: question F3 = Yes
Fed Flow-Through Details page has an Originating Sponsor listed with a Sponsor Type of Federal Government
SFI/FCOI One or more investigators on the PI, Personnel, & Organizations page has an SFI value of Yes or Unknown
Export Control Non-Fiscal Compliance page: if Yes for any one of questions E-2, D-1, D-2, D-3, D-4.
IACUC Non-Fiscal Compliance page: question AU-1 = Yes
FCOI Training One or more investigators on the PI, Personnel, & Organizations page has either not done the sponsor-required FCOI training or the training has expired.

Occasionally, there could be a difference in the eGC1 PI and the PI on the sponsor’s application, for example, in the case of career development applications.

To designate an Application PI, select that role for the person after adding them to the PI, Personnel, & Organizations page. For additional information on research team roles, review the UW Research Personnel page.

If the Application PI is a UW person, SAGE will add the Application PI to the Approval Flow and send an approval required email notification at the appropriate time. If the person selected does not already have an ASTRA role for SAGE,  a warning message of “no access: ASTRA permissions required” will display in red once you select the Application PI role. You will need to give them access, so that they can approve the application.  There are two non-PI researcher ASTRA roles that could be used.

As part of the approval process, the UW Application PIs are required to certify the PI Assurance Statement which appears in the approval dialog.

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.

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.

The following image shows the assurance statement in the approval dialog.

P I approval with assurance statement

For Grant Runner applications, the person designated as the Application PI will appear as the PD/PI on the SF 424 and Key Person Expanded forms.

Non-UW Application PI Assurance Statement Instructions

If the Application PI is a non-UW person (an affiliate), SAGE will not add them to the approval graph. Since they have a NetID, they could be given access to SAGE and added as an ad hoc approver to the graph. The eGC1 PI is responsible for securing assurance statements for those non-UW Application PIs. The following steps describe the paper process.
