When processing a proposal in MyFunding that will be submitted ‘System-to-System/Grants.gov via Click Grants (SF424)’, such as an R01 to the National Institutes of Health (NIH), it is necessary to create an ‘SF424’ as part of the funding proposal. The SF424 is a separate component of the funding proposal and is transmitted directly to the sponsor.
After the funding proposal and budget are created in MyFunding, the SF424 must be generated to allow the Specialist in the Office of Research to submit the final grant application.
