Reviewer Comments have been added to the PAF Summary and the pdf version of the PAF Summary.

  • The activity “Add Ad Hoc Reviewer” has been added to more states, including Proposal Preparation. This will allow PI/Project Teams to add reviewers from departments not identified on the PAF, if necessary.

Grants.gov SF424 forms support and copy mapping

  • Support for new forms, including:
    • R & R Budget - 10 year
    • R&R Subaward Budget (Total Fed + Non_Fed_ 10 YR)
    • Career Development Award Supplemental Form (V1.2)
    • EPA Contacts
    • NEA Organization and Project Profile and Supplemental Information

This update targeted NASA, NEA and NEH, so more opportunities from these agencies can be submitted system-to-system. 

  • Copy map supported indicator: a new column has been added to the PAF Sponsor – Grants.gov page next to the list of Grants.gov forms which indicates if the form is copy map supported. Note: If a form says it is “copy map supported” this means that any standard University information or specific information from PAF will be copied into the form.
