Cost Share and Subaward budgets are the only budgets in MyFunding that can be deleted if created in error or are no longer needed (see Figures 1 and 2). All other budgets in MyFunding (including subaccount budgets) cannot be deleted. However, these budgets can be excluded from a proposal budget by selecting ‘No’ to question 7 on the General Budget Information SmartForm (see Figure 3).

MyFunding automatically imports the most recent annual Conflict of Interest (COI) disclosure date from MyDislcosures into the Personnel Compliance tab (Figure 1). If the date is missing, it is most likely due to one of the following reasons:
To help ensure that MyFunding data remains accurate, any funding proposal that stays in ‘Pending Sponsor Review’ status for more than one (1) year will trigger an automated notification (Figure 1). A follow-up reminder will be sent every 90 days thereafter to both the Department Administrator and the Principal Investigator. At each notification, the funding proposal status should be reviewed and updated when possible.
A new question, How did the PI learn about the sponsor’s solicitation being applied for?, has been added to MyFunding on the Submission Information page (Figure 1). To answer this question, research administrators should connect with the principal investigator (PI) to find out how they became aware of the funding opportunity.
A new data field has been added in MyRA for outgoing subaward requests (SWD) to align with federal subaward reporting requirements.
Effective January 25, 2026, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) are requiring the use of Common Forms for Biographical Sketch and Pending (Other) Support documents, Per NIH Notice NOT-OD-26-018.
To align with the Clinical Trials Office, we have added additional questions to the General Proposal Information SmartForm in MyFunding. When choosing a ‘Primary Purpose’ for the project, follow-up questions regarding clinical trials will be displayed.
If 'Clinical Trial' is selected as the primary purpose (Figure 1) of the project, the Clinical Trial phase and the Clinical Study Registry (CSR) Number will be required (Figure 2).
MyFunding will undergo scheduled downtime on Thursday, September 4th, 2025, from 7:00 - 10:00pm EST for a System-to-System SF-424 upgrade.
If the downtime lasts longer than the expected time, we will issue a follow-up notification. Otherwise, MyFunding will be available on Thursday, September 4, 2025, at 10:00pm EST.
In response to user feedback, the PERIS™ Team has added a notification to the ‘Continuation Completed’ (Figure 1) activity on Continuations.
The notification will be sent to the Department Administrator and Editors listed on the record when the activity is completed.
