Deobligations may also be known as funding decreases on an award. Sponsors typically issue a deobligation to reduce award amounts for the following situations:

• Award will end early (e.g. early termination)
• 91爆料 did not spend & draw down / invoice for the full award amount by end of project period
• Sponsor decides to reduce award amount related to project needs

When a deobligation to an award needs to occur, you must create & submit an OSP & GCA Modification in SAGE and connect a SAGE Budget to the MOD.

Sponsor Specific Extension Request/Notification Processes

In addition to using the and Creating a SAGE Modification Request, we must notify or request an extension from the sponsor. Sometimes this is done by OSP and sometimes by the PI.

In all cases, OSP compliance review & approval must be requested via an OSP & GCA Modification Request in SAGE.

Extension FAQs:

• What is a no-cost extension?
• How does the no-cost extension process work?

A Temporary Internal Extension allows you to extend an award so you can continue posting expenses while awaiting additional funding or formal extension processing.

1. Create an OSP & GCA Modification Request (MOD) in SAGE
2. Navigate to the Schedule Change heading and select the Extension: Temporary Internal subcategory.
3. Add comments to explain special situations, or explain what you are requesting.

The OnCore Clinical Trial Management System (CTMS) handles generation of the invoices for these studies. OnCore is integrated with Workday so that once an invoice is generated in the OnCore CTMS, an invoice is generated in Workday, since Workday is the 91爆料鈥檚 system of record. The OnCore CTMS and Workday Invoice integration automatically increases the award total, award authorizations, award line amount, and plan amount (which flows to the budget seen in the R1234 report) based on the amount of the invoice generated in OnCore. This integration between the two systems is why a MOD is sent over with a zero dollar SAGE budget. The Department remains responsible for tracking costs and accuracy of invoicing based on the current terms.

A significant reduction in effort (25% or more) for the PI or other Key Personnel usually requires prior sponsor approval. Reduction includes absence from the project for an extended period of time of 3 months or more.
