September 2016 SAGE Subawards Release 2

September 22, 2016

This SAGE update introduces to you easier collaboration with the Office of Sponsored Programs (OSP), more subaward status transparency and a refreshed user interface.

Collaboration

If you are a Subaward Preparer, you are able to:

  • Withdraw a subaward request with “In OSP” status
  • Cancel a subaward request either “In OSP” or “Withdrawn” status.

OSP can return subaward requests that are “In OSP” or “OSP Assigned” status  and will include an return comment so you can revise and resubmit.

Transparency

For better transparency, a history of changes and comments now displays on your subaward.

You can track the following types of events and comments from the Subaward Overview and within each Subaward Request:

  • Status Changes (includes returns with explanations and related comments)
  • Ad hoc OSP comments to you about a subaward
  • OSP Assignment changes
  • Changes to attachments
  • Changes to OSP Assignment Date, Issue Date, and Fully Executed Date

The Subaward Overview page allows you to either view a comprehensive list of events for all related subaward requests, or filter to see only those for a particular request.

Ease of Use

Subawards refreshed design makes it easier for you to find the information that matters most.

Two new sections on the Subaward Overview Page:

  • Request In Process – This section helps you quickly identify the current request being worked on. This section includes requests that have not reached Active status (i.e. Composing, In OSP, OSP Assigned, Withdrawn, Returned, or Issued).
  • Processed Requests – This section includes any requests your items that have been processed for this subaward (i.e. Active, Expired, or Canceled).

You and OSP now share the same interface, which makes it easier for collaboration on subaward development.

My Subawards Task List

The “Latest Request Status” column helps you easily identify the status of requests that are still in process.

Your subaward requests in either “Returned” or “Withdrawn” status also have an arrow icon next to the status to help you identify those requiring action.
