Award Responsibilities

The following table defines the assignments that can act upon awards:

Role or Assignment	Typical Responsibilities
Specialist	Processes the award notification when it is received and creates a new award to account for and manage the funds. Submits the completed award for a designated review or for the final review, and makes changes requested by reviewers. Enables spending to begin prior to receiving the award notification by creating an advance account and putting the award into the Advance Award state. When the award notification is received, the specialist advances the award to the Active state. Creates a new continuation funding proposal based on the current award. Creates subawards in the system and manages any funds to be paid to subawardees.
Designated Reviewer	Reviews awards created in the system and either requests the specialist to make changes or submits them for final review by the award approver. Assigning a designated reviewer is optional.
Award Approver	Reviews awards created in the system and either makes corrections to it, requests the specialist to make changes, requests a designated review, or activates the award so that spending can begin.
