Tips

To ensure that MyFunding data remain accurate, any funding proposal that stays in ‘Pending Department Submission’ status will trigger an automated notification every 7 days to both the Department Administrator and the Principal Investigator. At each notification, the funding proposal status should be reviewed and updated when possible.

Questions have been updated and added to MyFunding on proposals and awards for the Clinical Trials Office. Please review the help text (Figure 1) for process and more information.  If you have any questions, please contact the Clinical Trials Office.

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:

Continuations are initially created from an award in the Award Workspace. Once the set-up process is complete, the Continuation will be located in the MyFunding tab, and in the My Inbox tab of the user who created the record (see Figures 1 & 2).

Due to an increase in requests to add sponsors that are already listed in MyFunding, this is a reminder to thoroughly search for existing sponsors before submitting a new sponsor request.

The Department Administrator listed on funding proposals and awards can be updated by using the ‘Manage Access’ activity (see Figures 1 & 2).

Only individuals listed with edit rights can manage the access of others on funding proposals or awards. The activity is available in all states (e.g., Active, Department Review, or Specialist Review).

When creating a system-to-system proposal and the Submission Information SmartForm is complete, the subsequent screen, the MyFunding Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) SmartForm will provide a status on whether the FOA is fully supported and can be submitted as a system-to-system submission.

If the FOA status is fully supported, continue through the SmartForm (see Figure 1).

Due to recent COI updated procedures, the Subaward Budget Information SmartForm in MyFunding has been revised (Figure 1), so that subaward FCOI requirements now apply to non-industry funding sources, not just PHS.

The ability to copy an agreement in MyRA is available to editors listed on the agreement.

The activity is located on the left-hand side of the workspace (Figure 1). Once the copy is complete, the History will display a link to the new agreement.
