Request an Award Modification

Active awards often need to be changed in some way. For example, you may need to address sponsor requests, update awarded amounts, or account for an approved extension. This procedure shows how to create an award modification request and submit it for review. The system supports multiple award modification requests for a single award. Typically, the PI, or administrative contact on the award requests modifications (though several other roles have permissions to do so).

To submit an award modification request

1. Open the award that needs to be changed from the Dashboard or one of the tabs on the Grants Awards page.

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

3. In the SmartForm, type a meaningful title and description for the modification request, and supply any of the optional information.

4. When satisfied with your entries, click Finish to save your work and exit the SmartForm. The system creates the modification request in the Draft state, and takes you to its workspace. The modification request also appears in your inbox until you submit it for review.

5. From the modification request workspace, click Submit to Specialist.

6. On the Submit to Specialist form, optionally supply any instructions and supporting documents, then click OK.

   The award modification request transitions to the Review state and appears in the assigned specialist’s inbox.
