These awards appear on the Grants Portal Security - Award Access page with the Award Page check box selected. If the PI wants to remove access to one of the awards, the PI can deselect the Award Page check box for that award.

This option should be used instead of the Revoke Selected Access button to provide the employee access to personnel information for the project but remove access to the Award page. For example, if the Award Page check box is deselected on the Grants Portal Security - Award Access page and the Personnel Page check box is selected on the Grants Portal Security - Project Access page, then the employee continues to have access to personnel information for the project.
