Subaward Statuses

When campus creates a new subaward, the Subaward and Subaward Request statuses will be the same from Composing through Active as you review and process the request. Once the subaward reaches Active status, the status of subsequent modification requests will be independent of the overall subaward’s status.

The system will automatically change the subaward’s status to Expired when the End Date is in the past. If a new modification is approved, the subaward status will be changed to Active once again.

OSP can change a subaward’s status as follows:

From To Effect on Requests
In OSP, OSP Assigned, or Issued Canceled, if there are no requests in Active or Expired status If there is only a New request with a matching status, then the request will be Canceled.
Expired Active No change to requests
Expired Closed Out No change to requests
Close Out Active or Expired No change to requests
Canceled In OSP, OSP Assigned, or Issued No change to requests

Subaward Request Statuses

A Subaward Request will have one of the following statuses.

Status Description
Composing Campus created an initial request or modification request, but hasn’t yet submitted it to OSP. Campus can delete a requests in Composing status.
In OSP Campus has submitted the request to OSP for review; the system assigns the request to Subaward Intake initially. Campus can cancel or withdraw a request in this status. OSP can return the request.
Withdrawn Campus pulled the request back for changes. Campus can only withdraw requests in status In OSP. Once withdrawn, campus could cancel the request.
Returned OSP had returned the request to campus for changes. You can return a request in either In OSP or OSP Assigned status. Once returned, campus could cancel the request.

The system sends an email notification about the returned request to the Subaward Preparer.

OSP Assigned OSP has assigned a staff member to review the request.
Issued OSP has issued the agreement to the Subrecipient.
Canceled Either campus or OPS decided not to continue processing the request. You may cancel a New or Modification subaward request that is in a status of Returned, Withdrawn, or In OSP.

If the subaward has only a New request, then the system will also change the subaward’s status to Canceled.

Active This indicates a fully-executed request.
Expired The system will automatically change a Subaward request’s status to Expired once its end date is in the past.
Closed Out (Subaward only) The subrecipient has completed the Subaward and OSP has changed the status to reflect that. The status for the subaward’s requests will remain unchanged when OSP changes the subaward to Closed Out.

Each Admin Action has a status that can change based on manual action by the user. The status reflects where the action is in the whole grant lifecycle.

An Admin Action may have one of the following statuses:

  • In OSP: The default status of a newly created action. OSP staff can edit actions with this status.
  • Approved: When you click the Approve link in the left navigation, the status of an action changes from In OSP to Approved.  OSP staff can still unlock and edit an action with this status.
  • In GCA: PAC only – When you click the Send to GCA link in the left navigation, the status of a PAC changes from In OSP to In GCA. A PAC must have an Approved status, and not be on Hold, before you can send it to GCA. OSP staff cannot edit a PAC with this status.
  • Returned By GCA: PAC only – This status indicates GCA sent the PAC back to OSP to add or correct information. OSP staff can unlock and edit a PAC with this status. When GCA returns a PAC, the system assigns it to the Prepared By person (or to the Failover Team if the person is no longer OSP staff). NOTE: You can  your tasklist to help identify these returned transactions.
  • Re-Sent By OSP: PAC only – A PAC that was Returned By GCA status and OSP re-sent to GCA. OSP cannot edit a PAC with this status.
  • Duplicate: An action has this status when you click the Mark as Duplication link. You must enter the number of the existing action that this one duplicates to assign this status.
  • Denied: An action has this status when you click the Deny link in the left navigation.
  • Processed: PAC only – A PAC has this status after GCA has fully processed the PAC and notified campus. OSP cannot edit a PAC with this status.

To view status history

If you have any questions about the status of an admin action, you can check its Status Page for the details.

After you submit an application to the NIH which uses an Adobe form set, you can have the system automatically update the submission status information. This information displays in both SPAERC and SAGE.

To request the status updates, your application must

  • have a status of In OSP
  • have a post-submission Grants.gov tracking number

To start the process:

  1. Open and unlock the application
  2. Click on the Status tab
  3. Enter the complete tracking number (GRANT plus all digits) in the text box.
  4. Click the “Receive Adobe Status Updates” button to start the process.

Information about the submission status will display on the application’s Status page and the History & Comments page.

adobe submission status

Status updates will begin to flow through to SPAERC within 10 minutes.  SPAERC users can edit the Grants.Gov tracking ID while the application is still in “In OSP” status. Once you approve the application, you can no longer edit the tracking ID. If you need to change the tracking ID of an approved application, contact the SAGE Help Desk.

Receiving the status updates will also cause the Adobe Submission icon to appear on the tasklist for the application.

New Features

Allow deletion of subcontract actions beyond most recent

OSP can now delete any Subcontract Action, not just the most recent, as long as the Subcontract Action is in “Pending” status.

Provide OSP staff with ability to alter eGC1 status

All OSP staff now have the ability to reset eGC1s that had been accidentally set to “Approved”, “Denied by Sponsor”, or “Permanently Withdrawn” back to active statuses. Approved eGC1s can be reset to “In OSP” status, and “Denied” can be reset to “Approved”.  If an eGC1 reached “In OSP” or “Approved” status prior to being “Permanently Withdrawn”, then OSP can reset it back to either of those statuses.  eGC1s that are “Permanently Withdrawn” while in “Routing” status cannot be reset to an active status, but can still be copied.

Status Problem Due to Returning an eGC1 with an Ad Hoc OSP Approver /research/tools/spaerc/known-issue/status-problem-due-to-returning-an-egc1-with-an-ad-hoc-osp-approver/ Mon, 08 Jun 2015 17:03:24 +0000 http://www.washington.edu/research/tools/spaerc/?post_type=oris_known_issue&p=974 Issue: When an eGC1 has reached a status of In OSP, the standard OSP approval node will have an approval status of Waiting Approval.

The post Status Problem Due to Returning an eGC1 with an Ad Hoc OSP Approver appeared first on SPAERC.

Issue: When an eGC1 has reached a status of In OSP, the standard OSP approval node will have an approval status of Waiting Approval. If OSP adds a colleague as an “ad hoc” Approver by name, for a second opinion or purposes of training, both the ad hoc Approver node and the standard OSP node will have a status of “Waiting Approval.”

When the application is returned by OSP before the ad hoc node is approved, and campus re-completes the application, the graph’s logic changes. When it is redrawn upon re-completion, the ad hoc OSP Approver node is considered to be a campus approver with an approval status of Waiting Approval, and the standard OSP node will have an approval status of En Route. Therefore, the status of the eGC1 is set to Routing rather than back to In OSP as expected. Unless the OSP staff have included eGC1s with a status of Routing in their tasklist view, the application will not appear on their tasklist.

This causes confusion for both the campus user who can verify that the eGC1 has been re-completed and the OSP Administrator who cannot see the eGC1 because of the unexpected status change.

dzٱ:Once the ad hoc OSP Approver node is “approved” the status of the application will change from Routing to In OSP.

Solution: When an eGC1 does not show up on the Tasklist for an Administrator in OSP but Campus asserts to have Re-Completed it, have OSP include “Routing” on their tasklist filtering, or search for the specific application.

Add any explanatory comments you wish, reassign the item if necessary, then click on the In OSP button to complete the process. The pop-up window will close, and the item details page will refresh showing the new status.

Note: If you change an Admin Action assigned to the location File back to In OSP status, the system displays a warning message, which reads:

“An Admin Action with status of In OSP may not be assigned to File. Please modify the status or the assignment.”

To complete the process, you will need to reassign the Admin Action to a value other than File.

Auto-Holds on Processed FAs /research/tools/spaerc/known-issue/auto-holds-processed-fas/ Sat, 12 Jan 2013 00:23:04 +0000 Issue: When the parent application is changed for an FA that is in Processed status, compliance auto-holds may appear, depending on the data in the new […]

Issue: When the parent application is changed for an FA that is in Processed status, compliance auto-holds may appear, depending on the data in the new parent application. The process of applying auto-holds does not check the FA’s status when it is re-parented. Since the FA is not editable when in Processed status, the holds cannot be removed.

The system should either not allow re-parenting of processed FAs, or not apply auto-holds when a processed FA is re-parented. The appropriate fix based on business processes needs to be determined.
