The information that you create and maintain in the award profile establishes an award, which is a completed agreement between an institution and a sponsor within the post-award system. Note that an award is synonymous with a contract, and that you must establish the contract itself prior to creating an award profile. An award is associated with one business unit, one billing sponsor, and one award sponsor. Each award must have at least one project and at least one activity. When you run the Award Generation process the system provides the bulk of the award setup so that the setup process is transparent to you. If you are not creating the award from a proposal (blue bird award), you must initiate all the necessary manual steps, including the creation of the contract, contract lines, projects, and activities.

Here is some general information about using milestones in PeopleSoft Grants:

  • Milestones track key completion phases for sponsored projects and are ultimately used in award closeout processing.

  • Milestones can include deliverables, deadlines, sponsor-special reports, final financial reporting, other reporting requirements, or award closeout.

  • The Milestone page is an institution-defined control table that stores milestones that you establish as appropriate for your tracking needs.

    Milestones can be systematically added during the Award Generation process.

  • You can track milestones by status, such as Completed, In Progress, Pending, Under Review, or any other status that you define on the Milestone Status page.

  • Each award has one or more designated individuals (DIs) with the authority and knowledge to identify award milestones, deliverables, and deadlines.

    The DI determines the processing schedules and routing lists for milestones, notifications, and workflow. Although typically the DI is an employee of the sponsored program office, a principal investigator (PI) or other authorized professional can fill this role. You define your own DI structure.

  • You can use milestones to enter information about the notification functionality.

  • Notification of milestones includes deliverables that are due to and from the institution.

  • Milestone tracking does not initiate other processes such as billing.

    It generates reminders to users to initiate the necessary processes. Milestones can be added to the award by individuals manually or by the Award Generation process if Include in Award is selected on the Milestone setup page.

The Award Profile component includes a supplemental data page that enables you to track supplemental award data—such as ARRA and FFATA information—using an unlimited number of user defined fields. This feature enables you to extend the information that is stored for an object without requiring modifications to the object's base table and without requiring additional changes PeopleCode or PeopleTools.

You use the supplemental data framework in PeopleSoft Enterprise Common Components - Active Analytic Framework (AAF) to define the base record and fields you want to display on the Award - Supplemental page.

To define the base record and fields you want to display on the Award - Supplemental page:

  1. (Optional) Access the Register Record page (Enterprise Components, Supplemental Data, Register Record) and define the supplemental record that saves the search criteria for the base record. For example, define the base record ‘GM_AWARD’ to use to record supplemental data.

    Note: PeopleSoft delivers system data for this step.

  2. (Optional) Access the Register Component page (Enterprise Components, Supplemental Data, Register Component) and enable the component and the pages for the Award - Supplemental page.

    Note: PeopleSoft delivers system data for this step.

  3. Access the Define Record page (Enterprise Components, Supplemental Data, Define Record) and define the fields you would like to track as supplemental data.

  4. Access the Define Display Group page (Enterprise Components, Supplemental Data, Define Display Group) and associate records and fields to appear on the Award - Supplemental page. You can also define the order in which the fields appear on the Award - Supplemental page.

  5. Access the Assign Display Group page (Enterprise Components, Supplemental Data, Assign Display Group) and assign one or more display groups to the Award - Supplemental page.

For specific information on the Enterprise Component - Supplemental Data pages, see Understanding Supplemental Data and Establishing Supplemental Data

Note: There is also a Project - Supplemental data page that enables you to track supplemental project data. The setup for this page is the same as the Award - Supplemental page and requires you do so in the Enterprise Component - Supplemental Data pages.

For more information on the Project - Supplemental Data page, see Establishing Project Profiles

Use the Award - Award page (GM_AWARD) to set up award profiles.
