What steps does OSP take to create an Award Setup Request

When OSP receives or retrieves an award and the PI is not included on the notification, OSP will create an Award Setup Request and send it to campus for completion.<

Review guidance on What do I do when I receive an Award Setup Request created by OSP?

1. Confirm there is an approved eGC1 in SAGE for the award

If there is an approved eGC1, OSP will proceed with step 2.

If there is not an approved eGC1 in SAGE, OSP will forward the award email to the PI & unit contact and request they submit an After-the-Fact eGC1.
Once the ATF eGC1 is approved, OSP will create the initial ASR and route it back to you for completion.

2. OSP creates the ASR in SAGE

OSP setup includes:

  • selecting the correct approved eGC1
  • adding the award number and total amount of the award to the General Information section

3. Send ASR to campus for completion

Campus completes the remainder of fields visible to them, including SAGE budget data. Review the ASR checklist for more details.

After campus completes the fields available to them on the ASR and resubmits the ASR OSP & GCA reviewers have more work to do, such as completing fields for OSP/GCA use that are not visible to you.
