Tag Archives: Grant Runner

Before you begin using Grant Runner, you need to:

  • Find an eligible funding opportunity
  • Register with eRA Commons
  • Get access to SAGE

Find an Eligible Funding Opportunity

To search for eligible grant opportunities, go to the Grants.gov Search Grants page. When you find a relevant NIH opportunity, be sure to make a note of the funding opportunity number. You will need this when you complete the Grant Runner wizard.

Register with eRA Commons

PIs (Principal Investigators) applying for grants from the NIH must have an account on the electronic Research Administration Commons (eRA Commons) website. eRA Commons serves as a virtual meeting place where the NIH exchanges information with its grantees and applicants can track their applications.

Please note the following:

  • Registration produces an ID, which you must enter in the credential field on the RR Senior/Key Profile Component. NIH will reject your application without the PD/PI Commons ID.
  • This is a one-time registration. Once a PI creates an account, be sure to enter the same PD/PI Commons ID each time that PI applies for NIH funds.
  • Make a note of the information used to register at eRA Commons. The PI information within the grant application should match this information as closely as possible.
  • For a link to the eRA Commons registration page and additional information, see NIH’s Registration Requirements for Electronic Submission.

Get Access to SAGE

SAGE (System to Administer Grants Electronically) is the UW system through which you submit your grant materials to the Office of Sponsored Programs (OSP). In order to use SAGE, you have must have access. SAGE uses the UW Access to Systems, Tools, Resources and Applications (ASTRA) tool.

Log into SAGE at www.sage.washington.edu.

If you have difficulty logging in, contact your unit’s ASTRA administrator to ensure you have a role.

Create a Grant Runner Application in SAGE

You will use the Grant Runner Wizard to create your application. The wizard will step you through a series of questions to verify if your application is eligible to use the automated submission process. You will need to provide the Funding Opportunity ID to complete the wizard. This ID is listed in the synopsis for each grant opportunity on Grants.gov.

The Grant Runner Wizard provides tools for you to look up UW organizational codes, sponsors, and Principal Investigators. The Wizard data will automatically populate parts of your eGC1 and SF424 forms, so you do not have to enter the same information more than once.

Helpful Reminders

  • The Sponsor’s Application Instructions document and Program Announcement (PA) should always be the primary source of information regarding important criteria, such as page count, file size, and document types required by the sponsoring agency.
  • All documents that are attached to the SF424 (R&R) form must be in PDF format.

SAGE – the System to Administer Grants Electronically – is the web-based system used by faculty, researchers, administrators and staff.

You can stay up-to-date on changes in SAGE (and FIDS) by subscribing to our Office of Research Information Services (ORIS) News.

The core SAGE system allows you to carry out several tasks:

  • SAGE Budget helps you create an accurate budget for your grant proposal. It auto-populates data from the payroll and financial systems, helps you select proper rates, and calculates totals automatically.
    • You can connect a budget to a standard or Grant Runner eGC1 to populate budget data.
    • You will need to connect a budget to an Award Setup Request.
  • eGC1 Forms are the electronic Grants and Contracts forms you use to route your grant proposal through the University’s internal compliance process.
  • Grant Runner applications combine the eGC1 and sponsor forms for some NIH funding opportunities requiring SF424 R&R forms, including Modular, Detailed and Subaward Budgets. With the click of a button, OSP can electronically submit your application via Grants.gov to the sponsor.
  • Approvals is the electronic routing engine that stages eGC1s, Advances, and Award Setup Requests for approval by associated departments, colleges, compliance offices, and the Office of Sponsored Programs.
  • Advances creates an online request form for an advance budget number.
  • Awards allows you to create Award Setup Requests and Modification Requests.
  • Subawards submits a request for a new subaward or a modification of an existing one.

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 information on this page is organized by Activity Categories/Program, based on the National Institutes of Health mapping.

NOTE: * All activity codes listed with a (*) next to it are listed twice within the table depending on budget form used; the application package will include a 5 YR budget unless the FOA project Period Exception flag is Y (Yes).

Budget Justification Attachments

The budget justification is an important section in any proposal. Use it to state why an item costs what it does, and to indicate how each item relates to the research plan. Be sure to provide sufficiently detailed information to address all sponsor concerns with respect to cost and need. In general, explanations should be more detailed for competing than for non-competing applications (Include project salary, percent effort, fringe benefits, travel, supplies, analyses, equipment, F&A rate and unallowable costs.)

You can add attachments for Personnel Justification, Consortium Justification and Additional Narrative Justification. Consult your sponsor instructions to determine which of these you might want to add.

In the Consortium Justification, list the individuals and/or organizations with whom you have (or will) make consortium or contractual arrangements, the percent of effort of key personnel and their role on the project, and indicate whether the collaborating organization is foreign or domestic. If you propose a contract/consortium arrangement, include a letter of commitment or intent.

Note: For NIH applications submitting a Data Management and Sharing Plan, Data Management, Sharing Costs and a brief Data Management and Sharing Justification must be provided as part of the Additional Narrative Justification

The following image shows the attachments section:
