How do I know which Modification Request type to choose?

Submitting Modification Requests in SAGE requires you to select either an OSP & GCA or a GCA only Modification. How do you know which request to select?

OSP & GCA Modification Request

Use the OSP & GCA Modification Request for all changes that require prior approval, an authorized official signature, or review from the Office of Sponsored Programs (OSP).

We recommend using the optional OSP & GCA Modification Checklist when preparing these Modification Requests.

GCA Only Modification Requests

Modification requests that do not need OSP handling and that do not require prior approval can be submitted via a Modification Request (GCA only).

We recommend using the GCA Only Modification Checklist when preparing your GCA Only Modification Requests in SAGE.

Note: If you submit a GCA Only Modification Request and it requires sponsor approval, GCA will deny the request and you will need to create a new OSP/GCA Modification Request.
