To learn more about grant administration at the University of Washington, review the Welcome to SAGE Web page.
SAGE is available 24/7 with the following exceptions:
The ORIS Support Desk provides assistance for SAGE users from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm, Monday through Friday, when the UW is open.
This component of SAGE (System to Administer Grants Electronically) enables you to create accurate, detailed budgets for your grant and contract proposals. The comprehensive budget minimizes errors and improves data quality.
You can connect a SAGE Budget to a standard or Grant Runner application. The budget data will automatically fill in the eGC1 Budget page, and for a Grant Runner application, the RR Detailed Budget form. Any changes to the budget are automatically reflected in the application. Review Connected SAGE Budgets and eGC1s for more details.
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:
Sub budgets may be included in any budget. Each type of sub budget serves a particular purpose.
| Field | Description |
| Internal UW Budget | Since it inherits all of the parent budget’s UW business rules, benefit rates, and F&A settings, it can be used to break out budgets for separate UW departments, for example. |
| Fabrication Budget | The data in this sub budget rolls up to a single line on the parent budget under the (06) Equipment category. |
| Subcontract Budget | The data in this sub budget rolls up to a single line on the parent budget under the (03) Other Contractual Service category.
A subcontract sub budget can also support custom external F&A rates and external benefit rates. |
The Sub Budgets tab lists all sub budgets associated with the parent budget.
If there are existing sub budgets, the following information displays:
| Field | Description |
| Ref # | The unique number assigned to the sub budget. Click it to display the budget’s worksheet. |
| Type | Internal UW Budget, Fabrication Budget, or Subcontract Budget |
| Working Title | The name of the sub budget. |
| Origin | Describes the source of this sub budget – either created directly or imported (copied). |
A Delete link displays to the far right of each sub budget listed. Click the link to remove the sub budget from the parent budget.
Below the list are two links.
Another way to access a sub budget is through the list at the bottom of the parent worksheet.
The budget worksheet displays line items and period totals for each budget line. The name of the budget and its reference number display above the worksheet navigation tabs.
Tabs
At the upper right area of the worksheet is a set of icons. Placing your mouse pointer over an icon will display its function. For full details on each of these icons, see the Worksheet Actions article.
Click on any object code summary line to display any existing sub-object line items.
The column entry for one period, for a specific sub-object code line item, shows the total calculated in the item-entry screen(s). The column entry for one period, for an object code summary line, shows the total of all its sub-object code line items for that period. An entry in the “Summary ($)” column (at the far right), for an object code summary line, shows the total of all the periods for that line. At the bottom of the worksheet are column totals for several categories of costs.
In the Salary and Wages section, added personnel will have corresponding entries in the Retirement and Benefits section. Student Aid line items are automatically added when you add an individual to the Salaries and Wages section with a UW sub-object code of: 01-33, 01-34, 01-43, 01-44, 01-51 to 01-54, or 01-91 to 01-94. See Salary and Wages Introduction for more information on how to select individuals.
Worksheet Table Columns
Description column
This lists the budget lines, which are categorized into 11 summary sections, derived from actual UW Object Codes. Click on a summary line to display its sub-object codes, or hide them. The current object codes included are:
Note: SAGE Budget does not include all UW Object Codes.
See also: Salary and Wages Introduction and a list of all UW Object Codes.
Target Amount
This line displays only when you have the Targets and Limits feature enabled. It displays the target amount you have established for each period of your budget. This amount is not included in your budget totals.
Target Difference
This line displays only when you have the Targets & Limits feature enabled. The Target Difference is the difference between the target amount you have established for each period of your budget and your budget total. When your budget exceeds the target amount, the target difference displays in red text. When your budget is less than your target amount, the target difference displays in black text.
The Target Difference is not included in your budget totals.
Summary and period columns
The summary column values are the sum of all line items (sub-object codes) set up within the summary line’s section.
Each budget column represents one period. The periods are defined in step 2 of the setup.
SAGE Budget enables you to create accurate, detailed budgets for your grant and contract proposals. The comprehensive budget minimizes errors and improves data quality.
Cost Share is the portion of a project or program cost that the sponsor does not pay for. It is the University’s share in the cost of conducting the project/program. Cost sharing occurs either when a sponsor requires, or the University volunteers in a proposal, funds beyond those awarded by the sponsoring agency to support a particular grant or contract.
These costs are charged to an alternate source (UW or third party). You must identify all sources, and they must agree (via the eGC1 approval process) to commit the necessary funds. For more information, review the GCA Cost Sharing Page or the GIM 21 Cost Sharing Policy.
This page is used to indicate the types and amounts of any cost sharing for this proposal.
Note: If the Fiscal Compliance F-3 is answered Yes, then cost sharing information is required.
Cost Sharing sections:
Cost sharing occurs when the research grant does not pay for all allowable expenses (personnel, tuition, equipment or services). For detailed information on cost sharing, see the GCA Cost Sharing Page or GIM 21 Cost Share on Sponsored Programs.
When applicable, the PI or department must complete and submit the eGC1 Cost Sharing Addendum to OSP at the time of award. If OSP has not received this form before they send the Funding Action to GCA, then GCA will set up the account with restricted 02 status. GCA will block any related advance budget requests.
Cost sharing occurs when the research grant does not pay for all allowable expenses (personnel, tuition, equipment or services). For detailed information on cost sharing, review the GCA Cost Sharing Page or the UW Cost Sharing Policy.
See the sponsor’s guidelines for this information. The University discourages cost sharing commitments when not required by the sponsor.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Mandatory | Check this box if mandatory cost sharing is required by the sponsor as a condition of the award. |
| Amount or percentage pledged | Enter the dollar amount or percentage of the direct cost required for cost sharing by the funding sponsor. |
| If sponsor has a web page… | Enter the web address (URL) for the sponsor’s page that provides specific information about their requirements, if available. Otherwise, attach appropriate sponsor cost sharing documentation. |
| Voluntary | Check this to indicate voluntary cost sharing, which is a voluntary contribution of effort or other costs offered by the Principal Investigator (PI) but not required by the sponsor as condition of the award. |
| Amount or percentage pledged | Enter the dollar amount or percentage of the direct cost voluntarily contributed toward this project. Because the sponsor does not require this as a condition of the award, the University discourages this type of cost sharing. |
| Explain and justify | Enter an explanation for this cost sharing. |
Personnel cost sharing refers to amounts committed by any UW unit for personnel salaries (plus benefits and Facilities & Administrative costs). This table reflects personnel entered on the Personnel screen.
By default, personnel cost sharing is assigned to the individual’s home or primary department. If the cost sharing source is not the home department, click the Change the Organization Code? link to identify the correct unit, and provide an explanation in the Additional Information box on the Certify & Route page.
The information displayed is the person’s name and the organization code and name for the person’s primary department.
Use the Amount field to enter the dollar amount of the cost sharing for this person, for all budget periods combined. If there is no amount, leave the field blank.
UW cost sharing refers to non-personnel (non-salary) and “TBA” (to be assigned) Personnel items only. You enter Personnel (salary) cost sharing in the Personnel section.
Click the Look Up Organization Code button to open the Organization Chooser and search for and select an organization. The selected organization code and name will display.
Enter a Description and Amount for this item (direct costs plus the third party’s F&A costs) for all budget periods combined.
To add another organization, click the Add another Organization Code link.
Remove an existing entry by clicking the Delete link to its right.
In addition to entering cost sharing data on the eGC1, you must complete the Cost Sharing Addendum form and submit it to OSP at the time they are reviewing the application.
Third party cost sharing is an amount that a non-UW source has committed. For each contribution, enter appropriate information and attach a letter of commitment from the third party source on the Attached Documents page.
To add rows, click the Add another Contributor/Subaward Recipient link. Add a Description of the item, and the total dollar Amount (direct costs plus the third party’s F&A costs) for all budget periods combined.
To delete an existing entry, click the Delete link to right of that entry.
Sometimes the University’s Facilities & Administration (F&A or indirect cost) rate is higher than the rate agreed to on an award. As a result, the University is awarded F&A Costs at lower than the negotiated rate. In this situation, the University ends up with a shortfall called “unrecovered F&A costs.” Some sponsors allow this shortfall to be applied as a cost share contribution.
If you are entering unrecovered F&A costs as cost sharing, you must complete the eGC1 Cost Sharing Addendum form. On the addendum, be sure to indicate the source of cost sharing as “unrecovered F&A costs.”
You may use Unrecovered F&A costs as a source of cost sharing if the sponsor guidelines indicate that “unrecovered F&A costs” are a valid cost sharing contribution or if prior sponsor approval is obtained. See the GCA Unrecovered Indirect Cost Page for more information.
Enter the unrecovered F&A cost amount.
This section displays the grand total of all UW personnel and non-personnel cost sharing amounts for each UW unit (by organization code). The total does not include Third Party amounts.
For each unit the system displays the Organization Code, Organization Code Name, and Amount.
This section displays the total cost sharing from all UW sources (personnel and non-personnel), third party sources and Unrecovered Facilities & Administration (F&A) costs. This amount is automatically calculated by SAGE.
