E G C one application details section

Field Description
eGC1 Number A unique, system-generated number used to identify an eGC1 and application. It is used in OSP correspondence.
Full Application Title Enter the complete project title of the application. This title must match the title on the sponsor application. Refer to the sponsor’s instructions for the length permitted. Maximum of 255 characters.
Short Title Enter a short title (no more than 22 characters, usually assigned by the PI or department) to identify the project within the UW financial system. Upon award, this will form part of the name for the award line(s) in Workday.
Requested Start and End Date Enter the anticipated beginning and ending dates of the project period. These dates must match the dates on the sponsor application. Specific dates should be used for Royalty Research Fund (RRF) Applications.
Sponsor Deadline Enter the final date the sponsor will accept the application, including the time of day and the corresponding time zone. OSP recommends routing draft proposals for initial review, so they arrive In OSP at least seven business days ahead of a sponsor deadline. Your unit may have earlier deadlines to meet a GIM 19 deadline. Refer to : Internal Deadlines for Proposals to Outside Agencies for more information as well as examples on how to calculate the deadline. Note, OSP disregards this field for After-the-Fact eGC1s which rarely have a sponsor deadline.

Route:

eGC1s with all final administrative elements at least seven business days before the sponsor deadline.

A complete, final proposal and eGC1 marked ‘Ready to Submit’ no later than 5:00 PM Pacific Time, three business days before the sponsor deadline. See: Is my eGC1 ready to Submit?

Build in extra time to prepare and route proposals that need additional approvals, have multiple subrecipients, or complex sponsor technical instructions. See: Why should I route an eGC1 for Contracts & Other Transactions to OSP ASAP?

OSP disregards this field for After the Fact eGC1s. If the sponsor does have a deadline for award acceptance, include an explanation in the Additional Information section (eGC1 Certify Route section).

Date Needed from OSP OSP recommends you disregard this optional field. OSP reviewers primarily handle eGC1s on a first-in first-out reviewed basis.
Signed and Unsigned Sponsor Copies Required This field is an artifact of paper proposal submission. Always check the sponsor’s submission method guidelines to determine what is required. If a sponsor does require signed physical copies of the proposal documents, include an explanation in the Additional Information section on the eGC1’s Certify & Route page.

  • Application Type
  • After the Fact Application
  • Application Type

    This is used by the system and OSP to classify and organize eGC1 materials. It helps to link related applications to one another (for example, a new application with all its revisions, continuations, and renewals) for improved tracking and reporting.

    Note: regardless of application type, if the is “IPA/JPA/Staff Assignment” then the application is non-competing.

    Select the appropriate type from the drop-down menu. This is a required field.

    E G C one application type section

    Pre-Application

    When submitting a preliminary proposal that may lead to a full application. An eGC1 is only required when the pre-application requires authorized official (AO) submission/sign-off or that contains budget details.

    New

    Use for brand new funded or unfunded applications.

    Transfer from Another Institution

    When a PI is transferring an existing application or award being transferred from another institution or entity to the UW.

    Competing Revision

    For a significant change to an existing project that requires application submission and sponsor approval.

    Non-Competing Revision

    Replacing most or all of previously submitted proposal or to change PI on a proposal after submission but before an award. Review guidance on how to request a change of PI.

    Resubmission (Previously Denied)

    When reapplying after a prior proposal was not awarded by the sponsor. This is a competing application.

    Competing Renewal

    When applying to renew a project beyond its original period with a new competitive application. This is a competing application.

    Non-Competing Renewal

    Do not select this field. It no longer applies to eGC1s. Items that require OSP review on an active award should come to OSP on an Award Modification. Review the FAQ when do I need an eGC1? for more information.

    Supplement and Extension

    Use to request additional funds and time for an existing award that requires an application process.

    Competing Supplement

    Competitive application to request supplemental funds to an existing award.

    Non-Competing Supplement

    Use to request additional funds without a new competition. For example: for an NIH administrative supplement.

    Non-Award Agreement

    New

    Typically used for agreements that support a main (unfunded or funded) UW sponsored program. Example agreement types include:

      • Confidentiality Agreement
      • Data Use Agreement
      • Material Transfer Agreement

    The following unfunded sponsored programs must also be submitted as a non-award agreement:

      • Unfunded Collaborative Agreement
      • Unfunded Research Agreement

    Continuation

    Use for amendments to existing, fully executed non-award agreements.

    Note: Select Non-Award Agreement (continuation) to extend an existing agreement beyond the initial term.

    When you select an NAA type, you will see a prompt that reads “Budget & Fiscal Compliance entries will be cleared. Do you wish to Continue?” This is to remind you that nothing should be entered on the Budget & Fiscal Compliance page. The system will delete any data that was there.

    The system will automatically check the After-the-Fact box for an NAA application type.

    For guidance on completing an NAA type application, see After-the-FACT (ATF) eGC1 Process.

    After the Fact Application

    Check this box if the sponsor has already funded this application, or has sent an award letter, or provided an agreement for UW review. An eGC1 is required for all sponsored programs, including after-the-fact.

    For more guidance, refer to the After-the-Fact process and the FAQ: What’s the difference between a proposal and an After-the-Fact eGC1?

    dzٱ:When you select one of the Non-Award Agreement application types, the system will automatically check the box.

    Grant Runner Application Type Mapping

    The eGC1 applications types map to SF424 types as follows:

    eGC1 Type SF 424 Type
    Pre-Application, New New
    Transfer, Resubmission Resubmission
    Competing and Non-Competing Revision Revision
    Competing and Non-Competing Renewal Renewal
    Supplemental Extension, Competing and Non-Competing Supplement Continuation

    Note: To reduce returns, sponsor information should be checked for accuracy prior to routing an eGC1.

    Select the Look Up Sponsor button to open the Sponsor Chooser.

    Look Up Sponsor

    Note: For a Grant Runner application, you will have selected the sponsor in the wizard.

    Enter text in the search box. SAGE will look for a match within the following fields:

    • Sponsor or Agency Name
    • Acronym

    E G C one sponsor section

    The Sponsor address and contact fields are not required, but we strongly recommend that you fill them in, as the values are used in the sponsor cover letter created by OSP and when OSP needs to contact the sponsor for agreement negotiations.

    • For the Address, City, State, Zip, and Country fields, enter the application mailing address of the sponsor as it appears in the sponsor’s application instructions or enter the name and web address (URL) of the sponsor’s electronic proposal submission system (for example, ASSIST, Grants.gov, Research.gov) in the Address field.
    • For the Contact Name, Contact Phone, and Contact Email fields, enter the information of the person to be contacted with questions or issues (optional).
