Tips

When a Sponsor or Subrecipient is not listed in MyFunding, contact the PERISTM Team at peristeam@pitt.edu to have the organization added to the solution for selection. Please include the following information in the email request: – Funding Proposal number – Sponsor/Subrecipient name – Sponsor/Subrecipient website Providing this information in the email will ensure that the organization’s information is accurate in MyFunding.

As a follow-up to the SF424 MyFunding Upgrade notice below, proposals that were created prior to the update may receive an ‘unsupported’ error message on the Funding Opportunity Announcement page (see Figure 1). Figure 1.

As a follow-up to the below notice about the Upcoming SF424 Upgrade in MyFunding, proposals that do not require Forms-G can continue to be submitted system-to-system (i.e., via Grants.Gov) in MyFunding. The SF-424 forms that are used for system-to-system (i.e. via Grants.Gov) submissions will be upgraded by our MyFunding vendor in early January 2022 to include NIH Forms-G. For proposals that need to be submitted prior to the SF-424 upgrade, please prepare and submit via Workspace or ASSIST.

As a reminder, contacting the correct person in the Office of Sponsored Programs (OSP) will ensure that questions related to MyFunding and the PERIS™ project are handled quickly and efficiently. For non-technical questions related to the preparation of a funding proposal or an award action within the MyFunding module, contact the OSP Specialist listed in the MyFunding record.

As a reminder, do not reply directly to MyFunding email notifications sent from peris@pitt.edu (see Figure 1). These messages are sent from an unmonitored account. Figure 1.

As a reminder, only one ‘TBA/TBH’ can be listed per period on the Personnel Effort SmartForm in MyFunding. Otherwise, MyFunding reads ‘TBA/TBH’ as the same person being entered multiple times, thus resulting in an error (see Figures 1 & 2). Figure 1. Error Figure 2.

No, budgets (including subaccount budgets) cannot be deleted in MyFunding (see Figure 1). The following tips can be used to make the budget distinct and to exclude it from the proposal budget (see Figure 5). Figure 1. MyFunding workspace Rename the budget title in question 1 with “DO NOT USE” and select “no” to question 9 on the General Budget Information page (see Figure 2). Figure 2.

In response to user feedback, the ‘Changes Requested by Department’ email notification has been modified to include members of the proposal team (see Figure 1).

The Personnel Compliance tab has been changed in MyFunding (see Figure 1 for example). Changes include: 1 – ‘IP Assignment’ column will display ‘Not on File’ or ‘On File’. 2 – ‘CITI Training’ column has been added to include the Responsible Conduct of Research (RCR) and Conflicts of Interest (COI) trainings, status, and expiration date(s). 3 – ‘Most Recent COI Disclosure’ column has been added.
