Project Award Requirements

A project in PeopleSoft Grants represents a portion of an award. Every award in PeopleSoft Grants requires a minimum of one project, and each project requires a minimum of one activity. Awards can have multiple projects, and projects can have multiple activities. To enter a transaction line into the transaction table (PROJ_RESOURCE), a project and activity must exist.

You may choose to control project budgets separately and, therefore, establish separate projects based on different principal investigators, departments, research phases, and locations. You can systematically create projects during award setup, or you can add projects manually through the Project component. You can also attach a project to an award and an award line from the Related Projects page in PeopleSoft Contracts.
