Award Creation

You can create an award using one of these options in the Awards work area:

  • The Quick Create Award task in the Actions panel tab.

  • The Create icon on the Manage Awards page.

  • The Create Award from Template button on the Manage Awards page.

When you create an award, you must define these details:

  • Basic award details

  • Project details

  • Funding details (includes budget details)

The basic award details include the business unit, legal entity, contract type, primary sponsor, principal investigator, and award date range.

If you create an award using the Quick Create Award task or the Create Award from Template button, the award details, such as keywords, references, attachments, funding sources, organization credits, certifications, terms and conditions, personnel, ALN, and award descriptive flexfields are copied from the template. These award details are automatically copied from the award template.

Note: When you create an award, a contract is automatically created in Enterprise Contracts. To create a contract, you must be defined as a user in Customer Relationship Management who has the Contract Administrator resource role in the same business unit as the contract.
