A SAGE Budget is required for all Award Setup Requests (ASR), and is connected to the ASR on the Budget and Award Lines page. You can learn more about creating a SAGE award budget on the SAGE Budget Resources page. Note that Clinical Trial budgets reviewed by the UW CTO do not need to contain any amounts, only the necessary data needed for Workday award setup, as outlined in the Creating a Clinical Trials Budget for SAGE Awards job aid.
Connect Budget Breakdown from SAGE Budget
Your SAGE award budget identifies how you would like your awarded funds to be set up in Workday. A SAGE Budget is required as indicated by the red asterisk.
Create your SAGE Budget
Create a new award budget in SAGE Budget or copy and modify an existing SAGE Budget. The level of detail required for the award budget should be tailored to the sponsor’s requirements and campus unit needs. Award budgets are often less detailed than proposal budgets. It is usually simpler to create a new award budget from scratch.
Review the Quick Tips for Simplifying Your Award Budget in SAGE job aid for more information.
Ensure the Sponsor Total on the General Information page matches the Budget Total on the Budget and Award Lines page of the ASR; otherwise, you will be unable to route your award.
Note: Since the “Primary Worksheet’s” name integrates into Workday as the Grant Name, it is best to title the “Primary Worksheet” as you want it represented in Workday.
Connect your SAGE Budget
Once you have created your SAGE award budget—with amounts and periods that match your notice of award—connect your budget to the Award Setup Request. In the Search for a budget box you can type a budget title, budget number or PI last name to display all eligible budgets matching your criteria.
Note: Eligible budgets include SAGE Budgets that are not currently connected to an eGC1 or another ASR.
The following image shows the search box:
Next, select your budget from the results list:
After your budget is connected, the following information will display:
- Budget name and BudgetID.
- Open Budget button.
- This opens the connected SAGE Budget in a new browser tab.
- A list of the Period(s) connected with start date and end date.
- SAGE will automatically select Period 1.
- Select any additional periods authorized by your sponsor.
Note: Any changes made to your SAGE Budget will sync to the Award Setup Request form, until the Award Setup Request is submitted. Changes can also be made to the budget when the ASR is in Returned status.
SNAP Award Period Setup: To streamline the SNAP award process and eliminate the need for temporary budget extensions, SNAP awards will be set up for the full anticipated duration of the award. Therefore, select all budget periods at time of ASR. However, also note that only period 1 should contain amounts. Future periods should contain $0, until the supplemental modification comes through for the next period. Review NIH SNAP: A Detailed Guide for Completing the Award Setup Request in SAGE for more details.
Change the Connected Budget
You can change the connected SAGE Budget if the status is:
- Composing
- Returned, but only if OSP has not approved
- Withdrawn (available only when routing to an ad hoc approver)
A Change Budget link will display to the right of the Open Budget link, as shown in the following image:
Selecting this link will open the Change Budget? dialog window. You can search for the desired budget by budget title, BudgetID number, or PI.
The following image shows the dialog window:
Select your budget from the results list and select the Change Budget button. The page will update to reflect the updated information.
View the Award Budget By Period
The Award Budget By Period portion of the Budget & Award Lines form section includes a tab for each period selected, with its description, and an “All Periods” tab on the left if more than one period was selected.
To the right of the section are three buttons:
- Expand Budget: opens the Award Line Details sections for the entire budget.
- Collapse Budget: closes the Award Line Details sections for the entire budget.
- Customize Details View: allows you to customize your view of budget data by toggling Object Class Details and Award Line Details on or off. Whichever setting is applied in the Budget and Award Lines section is also displayed in the Review & Submit section.
The following image shows these buttons with the Customize Details View expanded:
As you scroll down to view the details of your budget, the Expand Budget and Collapse Budget buttons will continue to be visible.
The following image shows the collapsed view of a budget with a single award line.
Each SAGE Budget worksheet will show as a row on the ASR Budget page. The first row is the Primary Worksheet.
The first column, Worksheet / Award Line, displays the following information:
- Worksheet Title
- F&A Rate
- Base Type
- Location
- Sponsored Program Activity Type
Selecting the blue caret (>) to the left of the worksheet title displays the Object Class with Ledger details and the Award Line Details section for that individual award line. See detail below.
The remaining columns display the costs for that category:
- Total Direct Costs
- Costs Subject to F&A
- Total F&A
- Fees
- Total Costs
For a single Period, there is a Period Total row. For the All Periods view, there are Budget Total, Sponsor Awarded Total, and Difference rows.
Important: The Difference row compares the amounts between the Budget Total Costs and the Sponsor Awarded Total on the General Information page. Any difference is expected to be resolved prior to submission or you can expect a return. Review the Guidelines for a Budget Difference Between the SAGE Award Budget and the Sponsor Award job aid for tips on reconciling the difference.
Object Class and Spend Category Details
This section displays when the Expand Budget button is selected. It shows a breakdown of the ASR’s linked budget amounts by the categories that will integrate to the Workday plan. The amounts are aggregated by Ledger, Object Class, and Spend Category for each award line and period.
The following image shows an example of this section:

Award Line Details
The Award Line Details section represents information that will integrate to Workday from SAGE Budget and the ASR. Some details like Terms and Conditions are entered by OSP and GCA, and will only be visible to campus once those units have taken their actions. This is a good opportunity to review the details that will comprise the award lines and grant details in Workday, prior to integration.
