When a user searches for a sponsor to add to their eGC1, the following text always displays. It includes the steps the user should follow.

Not finding the sponsor you are looking for?

We recommend you try your search again using single words, abbreviations, or alternate spellings. A partial search term such as “American” or “Americ” will return all sponsors whose names contain that term. You can also search on common acronyms, such as “NIH.”

If you cannot find the sponsor you are looking for, please follow the Sponsor Request Instructions below:

Sponsor Request Instructions

    1. Select “Request Sponsor.”
    2. Navigate to the Sponsor Request form in a separate browser tab.
    3. Fill in the form, and then select “Submit.”
    4. Leave the Sponsor blank until the new sponsor is added in order to route your eGC1.

You will receive an email confirming the new sponsor is now available. Return to your eGC1, search again for that sponsor and select it.

The Request Sponsor button displays below the instructions.

If the user opened the item before you exited, they will need to close out and then re-open to switch from read-only access to read-write. If you had not properly exited the item by either using “Save & Close” or “Back to Spaerc Tasklist”, you can re-open the item, and exit properly to clear your hold on it. Then the user should re-open it.

All Admin Actions have the same choices for attachment types, so changing from one AA type to another should not be a problem. If you’re changing an Admin Action into a Funding Action, the only attachment type in common is Internal (UW) Document. See the Common AA Fields section of the User Guide for more information.
