Notes

  • SAGE will not allow you to submit a modification for both an Extension and an Early Termination.
  • The Request Start Date field is not editable.
  • If you just need to change the PO number for your subaward, email ospsubs@uw.edu to request the change.

Attachments

If your modification includes a Scope Change, you must upload an attachment. Include any other appropriate attachments. OSP requires specific documents for modifications. Review the Setup page for Subawards for a description of the required documents.

Save or Submit

At the bottom of the page you can select either Save Draft and Close or Submit.

If you have not completed filling in all the required information, select Save Draft and Close to save and return to the Subaward Overview page. You can also save by selecting the SC number in the breadcrumb at the top of the page.

Selecting Submit will validate that you have completed all of the required fields. If not, the modification request page will re-display with validation messages for missing information.

Note: If your subaward is older and therefore missing contact information, when you select Submit, you will see a validation message. The Contacts section will display as part of the Modification page so that you can add the required data.

If all required information has been entered, the submission will complete and the Subaward Overview page will display a confirmation of the submission.

Note: If your modification is in Withdrawn or Returned status, the button’s label is Resubmit.
