Create an Award Modification

This topic shows the general procedure for creating an award modification. Other topics in this guide provide details on completing modifications to achieve specific objectives. As a specialist, you can create a modification for awards that are in the Active or Advance Account state.

To create an award modification

1. From My Inbox or the Active Awards tab on the Grants Awards page, click the name of the award to modify.

2. From the award workspace, click Create Award Modification.

3. On the first page of the modification, give the modification a meaningful name.

Open

Select the modification type.

Only modification types not already in process are shown.

Select a demographic change if needed.

You can select a demographic change in combination with a modification type, or by itself if you select Demographic Changes Only as the modification type.

1. Select whether the modification will impact any subaward.
   If you select Yes, when the modification gets approved, all subawards transition to the Subaward Review/Update Required state, and must be approved by a Contract Specialist before they can be activated.

2. Enter any optional information needed.

3. When you've completed this page, click Continue.

4. Continue through the other modification pages, specifying the needed changes to the award.

The modification type selected on the first page determines which subsequent pages appear.

1. When satisfied with the modification, click Finish on the last page. 

2. Submit the modification for review.

When the modification gets approved, the parent award updates to reflect the changes specified in the modification.
