Budget development will not be covered in this class
*S2S = System-to-System
General information about Proposals in KC All faculty and administrators will be given
the Proposal Creator role
OSP or BC should be notified when a proposal development document is being prepared for submission; include the proposal number in the communication
Individuals will need Adobe Reader to view .pdf files in KC
3
Colleges/Departments are encouraged to determineInternal processes for proposal creation prior to go-live
General information about Proposals in KC (continued) Proposal Development documents have three
sections that can be edited simultaneously by multiple people – Proposal, Attachments, and Budget
KC includes a status box, located in the upper right hand corner of every document, with relevant summary information:

Key differences in process
8
No downloading forms packages / double entry of information Grants.gov forms are automatically populated
with data entered into the KC proposal KC validates proposals for the specific
opportunity selected to ensure that the required data, forms, and attachments are included, prior to submission
Status updates from Grants.gov are transmitted electronically to MSU and displayed in the S2S area of the proposal
There are fields that OSP cannot edit once the proposal has been routed (e.g. budget, dates)
Create the Proposal
Researcher tab Click the Create Proposal link, located in
the proposals channel Unit tab
Click the Create Proposal icon, located in the preaward channel
9
Required Fields to Save the Document
There are 7 required fields that must be entered in order to create and save a Proposal Development document. Two ways of saving within a Proposal
• Clicking Save Button• Clicking on another tab (referred to as an implicit
save)10
11
Proposal Type Used when…
Award Revision
Gathering approvals for award revisions and creating revised budgets
Continuation Submitting Grants.gov non-competing applications for an additional funding/budget period within a previously approved project period (typically used by USDA)
New New proposal submission
No Money Agreement
Routing an agreement for approval that does not include awarded funds (e.g. cost share agreement)
Pre-Proposal A pre-application or Letter of Intent is required by the sponsor and the requirements of the pre-application must have institutional approval (e.g. cost share). Also used for pre-proposals submitted through Grants.gov
Renewal A new application requesting additional funding for a period subsequent to what was provided by the current award
Required Fields to Save the Document1. Proposal Type
12
Proposal Type Used when…Research Gift
Funds are transferred to MSU without any valuable consideration or compensation to the donor. Gifts of more than $5,000 for the support of research should be routed through a PD document
Resubmission
Resubmitting a previously unfunded proposal
Revision Submitting Grants.gov changes to financial award obligations, competing revisions, non-competitive administrative supplements, and NIH transfer applications
Task Order Submitting a proposal or receiving an award under a master agreement
Required Fields to Save the Document1. Proposal Type, cont.
Generally, the lead unit is the unit responsible for the proposal submission Typically, associated with the PI, although not
required Options appearing in the dropdown list are
unit(s) that the individual has been granted access to create proposals for (based on access provisioning / ARMs)
Once saved, cannot be changed!
13
Required Fields to Save the Document2. Lead Unit
Types include: Construction Education/Instruction Fee for Service Fellowship Public Service Research Student Services
Drive the default F&A Rates used in the budget More about that in the Budget Development in
KC course 14
Required Fields to Save the Document3. Activity Types
4. Project Title If the title is unknown you can use a “.” to pass
the validation. Remember to change it!5. Sponsor
If the sponsor is not listed, select To Be Named as the sponsor and email [email protected] to request that the sponsor be added
Using To Be Named allows you to continue working on your proposal, but will prevent you from submitting the proposal for approval
6. Project Start Date7. Project End Date
15
Required Fields to Save the Document
Proposal Permissions
16
Proposal Permissions Allows the individual creating the proposal to
grant permission to create, modify, or view information in the proposal
Assigning roles will permit others to interact with the specific proposal they are added to; it does not impact other documents in KC
Proposal roles can be granted, changed, or removed
To assign proposal permissions: Click on the Permissions tab Type in the MSU net id or perform a lookup to find
the person being granted a role Select the role Click Add 17
Proposal Roles Aggregator Automatically assigned to the individual that creates the
proposal; Full access to add/edit/delete data and attachments, answer investigator certification questions, submit or delete the proposal
Narrative Writer Can add/edit/delete proposal data and attachments and view budgets
Budget Creator Can add/edit/delete proposal data and budgets and view attachments
Viewer Can view proposal data, attachments, and budget Delete Proposal Can delete the proposals that are in progress (proposals that
have been submitted for approval cannot be deleted)
18Other roles are listed in the system, but will not typically be used at MSU
Proposal Permissions
At least one person should be assigned as the Aggregator, in addition to the person creating the proposal
19
Narrative Writer is the recommended permission toassign the PI(s)Viewer is the recommended permission to assignresearch administrators outside of the lead unit that have faculty collaborating on the proposal
Change or remove roles
Remove individuals – click delete and answer the confirmation question
Change roles – click edit role, uncheck the current role assignment, check next to the appropriate role, and save Unassigned removes permission, without
removing the person making it easier to reassign a role if things change (as they sometimes do!)
20
The system requires at least one aggregator and will prevent the removal of the person/role if there is only one individual with the aggregator role
Complete the Sponsor & Program Information
21
Complete the Sponsor & Program Information Click show on the Sponsor & Program
Information panel The following fields appearing in bold
should always be completed, when applicable; those not bolded do not need to be completed:
22
• Sponsor Deadline Date• Sponsor Deadline Type• Prime Sponsor ID• NSF Science Code• Sponsor Div Code• Anticipated Award Type• Agency Routing Identifier• Opportunity Title
• Sponsor Deadline Time• Notice of Opportunity• CFDA Number• Opportunity ID• Sponsor Proposal ID• Does this proposal include Subawards?• Sponsor Program Code• Previous Grants.gov Tracking ID
Performance Site Location(s)
23
Performance Site Location(s) Indicates where the work will be
performed May be required for some Grants.gov
proposals To add a Performance Site Location:
Click on the lookup icon Enter the search criteria Click search Click return value for the desired location Click add Click show on the Congressional Districts subpanel Select the applicable State from the dropdown (or
00 if foreign) Enter the number portion only in the District
Number field (e.g. 008) Click add
24
The Performance Site Location and Other Organization subpanel are very similar, however they pull address information from different tables in KC
We recommend subrecipients be entered on the Other Organization subpanel rather than the Performance Site Location
The steps to add an Other Organization are the same as adding a Performance Site Location
Contact [email protected] if the organization is not found in the Performance Site Locations or Other Organization search
25
Performance Site Location(s)
Always use the lookup to search and return the Performance SiteLocation; typing the information prevents the system from populatingthe address and may lead to errors when you try to print thePerformance Site Location form
Add Keywords, if applicable
26
If the proposal includes international activities, add the country/countries where the international activities are taking place
Other programmatic keywords are optional and can be added at the discretion of the PI(s) Adding programmatic keywords are beneficial for
reporting purposes
Add Keywords, if applicable To add a keyword:
Click on the lookup icon Enter the search criteria
• Keyword Code field includes categories of keywords (e.g. entering *country* will yield the list of countries)
• Description is the Keyword field Click search Click the checkbox next to the keyword(s) Click the return selected button

39
Key Personnel – Grants.gov order
Order of the panels is the same as on the Grants.gov forms – use the green up/down arrows to change the order, if necessary Default order is grouped first by role (PI, Co-
Investigators, Key Persons) and alphabetically by first name within the role groupings
Additional PD/PIs and Co-Investigators added as Key Persons should be moved so that they are listed after the PI
40
Proposal Person Certification Questions MSU employees with ‘investigator’ roles (PI, Co-I,
Multi-PI) must answer Proposal Person Certification questions
Can be answered by the investigator prior to routing or during review/approval (Incomplete) changes to (Complete) once the questions
are answered and saved 41
Occasionally, individuals listed as Key Persons may need to answer the certification questions
To include certification questions for key persons, click show on the Certify subpanel, then click the include certification questions button 42
Proposal Person Certification Questions – Opt in for Key Persons
Combined Credit Split
43
The Combined Credit Split panel is where MSU will identify:
F&A Allocation credit Post Award (bookkeeping) Unit credit Space credit
PI Profiles will load into the F&A Allocation column
Values in the Combined Credit Split panel (across investigators and units) must add up to 100%.
Combined Credit Split Panel Credit is distributed both across
investigators, and between the units they are appointed inInvestigator
Line
Unit Line(s)
F&A Allocation – Investigator’s Unit(s)
F&A Allocation between units is populated by that individual’s PI Profile.
Pre-populated by PI Profile
F&A Allocation – Investigators
Investigator lines must total 100%
Credit must be entered (distributed) among the investigators listed on the project
Assigning the Book Keeping Unit Assign 100% to the Post Award Unit
responsible for managing the award Assign 100% to the investigator that is
associated to the unit (typically the PI)
Assigning the Book Keeping Unit To pass validations all investigators must
have 100% entered in a Unit line (only 1 Investigator line will have 100%).
Assigning Space Credit
Space credit is assigned in the Space column
49
How to identify if an Investigator has space credit when added to a proposal
50
In the Unit Details tab, the Profile Name identifies that the person
has space credit as well as the unit that should receive the credit
Assigning Space when there is no space credit When there is no Space credit, the
amounts entered in the Space column must match what is in the F&A Allocation column
Assigning Space when one PI receives Space Credit The one PI with space credit must enter
100% in the Investigator line and in the Unit line that is receiving the credit
52
Assigning Space when one PI receives Space Credit An entry must be made in a Unit line for all
Investigators so the Unit Totals will calculate to 100%
53
Assigning Space when one PI receives Space Credit The Unit Total for all Investigators and the
Investigator Total all equal 100%
54
Assigning Space when more than one PI receives Space Credit Enter 100% in the Unit line that is
receiving space credit for all investigators receiving space credit
55
Assigning Space when more than one PI receives Space Credit Divide 100% by the # of Investigators
receiving space credit and enter that amount on their Investigator lines
56
Assigning Space when more than one PI receives Space Credit An entry must be made in a Unit line for
all Investigators so the Unit Totals will calculate to 100%
57
Assigning Space when more than one PI receives Space Credit The Unit Total for all Investigators and the
Investigator Total all equal 100%
58
Unit & Central Administration Contacts
59
Click Sync All button to load contact information for administrators associated with the lead unit listed on the proposal
You may add or delete unit contact information where applicable

Click the Custom Data tab Click show on the Proposal panel Enter a note related to the voluntary committed cost
share If both voluntary and required cost share is included,
quantify the amount that is voluntary and the amount that is required
Click save or navigate to another tab69
Answer Proposal Questions
Every proposal will contain a standard set of questions that must be answered; these are included in the Standard Proposal Questionnaire
Additional questionnaires may be required, depending on content of the proposal (i.e. Grants.gov questionnaires)
70
Questionnaire functionality KC has intelligent questionnaire functionality –
that is, the questions presented are based on the data in the proposal and/or how other questions are answered Human Subject = Yes – other questions related
to clinical research will appear More information…provides links to MSU
policies or additional information (context) to help answer the question
71
Proposal Actions
Includes important actions such as: Data Validations Printing proposal forms or the full proposal package Copying the proposal into a new Proposal Development
document (instructions included later in the presentation) Viewing the route log
72
Data Validation
Can be turned on/off any time during the development process
Includes Errors and Warnings Errors –prevent the proposal from being routed
for approvals and must be fixed Warnings – indicate potential data issues; does
not prevent the proposal from being routed for approval
General Categories Validation errors & warnings Grants.gov errors Unit business rule errors & warnings (specific to
MSU)73
Engaging Data Validation Click on the Proposal Actions tab Click show on the Data Validations panel Click the turn on validation button Click show in each error/warning category to
show the specific error/warning Click the Fix button
KC will take the user to the tab/panel where the error/warning is located (some limitations)
Once the user addresses the issue and clicks the save button, the user will be brought back to the Data Validation panel
Data validation will automatically engage when printing Grants.gov forms or when the proposal is submitted 74
Data Validation Limitations When the error is related to a missing
Grants.gov attachment, the fix button takes the user to the S2S tab even though the missing form is one that should be uploaded in the Proposal Attachments area This limitation exists because of the way
Grants.gov codes the forms/errors; we are not able to correct for this locally
75
Submitting the Proposal for Approval
Only individuals with the role of Aggregator can submit the proposal
KC will automatically route the document to the required approvers, based on the information contained in the proposal and institutional practices and policies
Once submitted, the proposal becomes read-only preventing further changes/modifications, except: Notes can be added by anyone on the route path Attachments can be replaced OSP and BC can make limited edits – notifications
are automatically sent when this occurs
76
Replacing Attachments
Draft attachments can be used during approval routing and replaced before the proposal is submitted to the sponsor Draft or placeholder attachments must be
uploaded prior to submit• Documents cannot be added, only replaced
Aggregators, Narrative Writers and OSP/BC/CGA may replace attachments
77
Replacing attachments
Proposal Attachments – click edit
Personnel & Internal Attachments – click replace
