Funding Proposal

This section covers how to use the WRAP Grants module to perform key tasks across the grant lifecycle, including navigating funding proposals, understanding workflows, creating and submitting proposals, and completing detailed budgets such as subaward and cost-share budgets. It explains how to assign ancillary reviewers, track review progress, create or update SF424 forms, and submit proposals for department review. Users will also learn to respond to Just-in-Time (JIT) requests, create award continuation proposals, request award modifications, and handle change requests. The section provides guidance on departmental reviews, including reviewing proposals, requesting changes, and submitting approvals. It also covers specialist reviews, such as assigning specialists, submitting final reviews, and sending proposals to federal sponsors. Additionally, it addresses sponsor reviews, including notifying sponsors of grant status and updating proposal statuses based on sponsor determinations.

The WRAP system supports the application process through a funding proposal which goes through the following life cycle:

1. Once you have identified a funding opportunity, as the PI or staff, you create a funding proposal. In the proposal and its associated budgets, you supply information required by the funding opportunity. For Federal system-to-system submissions, you can also auto-populate the correct SF424 forms with data from the proposal. When you have completed the proposal, you submit it for internal review.

2. The assigned reviewers in your department and central office review the proposal and either return it to you for changes or approve it. 

3. When the proposal passes its final review, the central office submits the application package to the sponsor and manages the proposal's status based on the sponsor's response.

4. If your proposal is awarded, you create continuation proposals or request award modifications as needed over the life of the award.
