Negotiating Awards

This topic discusses how to negotiate awards. Negotiations are linked to a business unit, proposal ID, version, and award ID (if known). Typically, you complete the Negotiate Award page when your institution anticipates that the proposal will result in an award, but some aspects of the award have not yet been agreed upon.

Note: Negotiation details do not affect the original proposal. If you need to change the proposal itself, you must create a new version of the proposal and make the appropriate changes.
