What are the Differences Between “Continue”, “Save”, and “Jump To” in the MyFunding Module?
The MyFunding module has several activities that allow users to navigate through a funding proposal.
What Instrument Type Should be Selected in MyFunding for a project Supported by a Federal Contract?
Most Funding Opportunity Announcements (FOAs) will indicate the type of funding mechanism to be issued if a project is awarded. However, it can be difficult to differentiate whether a project will be supported by a Federal Grant or a Federal Contract.
A reference guide has been prepared to assist in differentiating between the two mechanism types. While both are awarded competitively and authorized by law, both are reviewed and processed differently within the Office of Research.
Funding Proposal Access in MyFunding
Who has access to a funding proposal in MyFunding and how do I grant access to a funding proposal? Funding Proposal Access The MyFunding module of the PERIS™ Solution operates on role-based security. Prior to the roll-out of MyFunding, each department was required to complete a security template. This security template established the individuals who would be responsible for completing reviews for each funding proposal. The security template also established levels of security for individuals within the department based on their role.
How to Conduct an Advanced Sponsor Search in MyFunding
Due to the large number of sponsors, it may be necessary to conduct an advanced search in MyFunding to find a sponsor.
Is my Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) supported by the MyFunding module?
A system-to-system submission is an electronic submission where all components of the funding proposal are completed and submitted within the MyFunding module to Grants.gov.
Changed/Corrected Applications in MyFunding
Changes are sometimes required to be made to a funding proposal after submission to a sponsor. When a changed/corrected application is required in the MyFunding module, a member of the proposal team must notify the Specialist in the Office of Research by using the ‘Email Specialist’ activity in MyFunding, so that the SF-424 application, funding proposal, and budget can be re-opened for editing.
What do I Select For Indirect Costs in MyFunding?
