December 2015 SAGE Maintenance Release

December 15, 2015

New Features

eGC1 Permanently Withdrawn status change by user

SAGE users can now permanently withdraw eGC1s that are in “Withdrawn” or “Returned” status. Previously, only OSP could mark eGC1s as “Permanently Withdrawn”. This will provide SAGE users with a way of quickly removing eGC1s from their tasklist that are no longer being considered for submission to a sponsor.

eGC1 Denied by Sponsor status change by user

SAGE users can now mark “Approved” eGC1s as “Denied by Sponsor” and attach related documentation. Previously, only OSP could set eGC1s as “Denied by Sponsor”. This will provide SAGE users with a quick way of clearing eGC1s from their tasklists that are no longer being considered by sponsors, and improve the accuracy of proposal data.

How can I add a new hire to my eGC1?

A new hire must have a UW NetID and UW email account before you can add them to an eGC1. UW departments/divisions may obtain sponsored UW NetIDs for people who are new to the university and whose academic appointments or positions are not yet active.

If the researcher needs access to SAGE to view or edit eGC1s, then you will also need to authorize them with the appropriate role(s) in ASTRA. If the new person will be the PI, they will need the PI role.

Once the NetID is created, you’ll need to use the NetID look up, as a sponsored person is considered a “non-UW person” until their academic appointment or position is active. Once active, you can go back to any eGC1s where they are listed as non-UW and refresh the information.

Why can’t I print my eGC1?

The printable eGC1 displays in a pop-up browser window. If you haven’t allowed pop-ups in your browser, the window will not open.

For instructions on how to allow pop-up windows within SAGE, see how to configure the pop-up blocker.

If you are still having problems printing from SAGE, there may be a problem with your computer, so please contact your unit’s or department’s technical team for assistance.

Why can’t I complete my eGC1 and start it routing for approval?

All of the required fields in your eGC1 must be filled out before you can route the eGC1 for approval. Click the Check for Errors link on the left navigation menu or on the Certify & Route page to see any problems preventing your eGC1 from routing.

This same error list will display when you click the Route to Reviewers button, if your eGC1 is missing any required data.

Once a budget is connected to an eCG1, what are the access rules for each item?
How do I connect a budget I created in SAGE with my eGC1?

See the Connect Budget article in the eGC1 Forms user guide for details.

Note: for a Grant Runner application using the RR Detailed Budget, when you connect your budget, the budget’s data will overwrite any information you already entered on the Grant Runner form.

All the data from your budget worksheet and from any sub-budget worksheets will be imported to your eGC1 for the budget period you selected and will automatically overwrite any information you entered on the eGC1 Budget page. By default, the totals for your budget will also be included.

To connect your budget:

  1. On the eGC1’s Budget page, click Connect a Budget, enter the ID or Ref # for your budget, and then click Search.
  2. From the search results, Select the budget you want.
  3. Select the period of the budget you want to connect with your eGC1. Note: You can only connect one budget period with an eGC1.
  4. Click Apply to eGC1.
How will I know when award or other documents are attached to my eGC1?

At this time, we do not send a notification when a new document is attached to your eGC1. The best strategy for tracking new documents is to check the Attached Documents page of your eGC1 regularly.

What should I do if the PI is not available to approve the eGC1?

Some sponsors allow a Department Chair to sign an eGC1 and proposal on behalf of a PI in their department. This requires an Escalation of PI Certification which is indicated on the Certify & Route page of the eGC1.

When the reviewer approves the application for their own node, the system will also approve the PI node. The reviewer will have to mark the checkbox for the PI Assurance statement on the PI’s behalf.

For information on the approval of applications in the PI’s absence, contact your department administrator/chair.

How does OSP know when my eGC1 is ready to be submitted to a sponsor?

OSP depends on your answer to the “Is this application ready to be submitted to the sponsor?” question on the Certify & Route page. Until that question is answered Yes, OSP will not submit the application to the Sponsor.

When are re-approvals needed?

If you modify your eGC1 after the PI or other reviewers have approved it, when you re-route it, the system will continue with the next approver. SAGE does not automatically start the approval process over from the beginning.

If significant changes are made that would modify the commitment of a unit, then the unit should be added to the approval flow using the Add Approver process.

If you change the PI, the organization receiving funding, or the answer to some compliance questions, the approval flow may change.
