Data entry procedures for FRAPROP:

New proposal

• Create a new proposal in Banner Finance. Follow the procedures outlined by SW Financial Systems. The direct access screen for proposal data entry in Banner is FRAPROP.

Supplemental funding

• Supplemental funding is additional funding to a current project that is independent from the original awarded amount (a new pot of money).

• Create a new proposal and link the new proposal to the original proposal.

Continuations - New award each year

• Continuations awards are made each funding cycle even though the original proposal was a multiple year project. The continuation award is independent from the awarded amount in the previous year.

• Create a new proposal and link the new proposal to the original proposal.

Continuations - Progress report and budget request required by sponsor each year

• A progress report and budget request must be sent to the sponsor each funding cycle. The continuation award is not independent from the original award.

• Do not create a new proposal in FRAPROP. When continuation funds are received by the university, a new budget request form should be sent to OGCA. OGCA will make changes in the Banner grant module. All data originally entered in Banner proposal module remains the same.

Renewals

• Create a new entry and enter a note into the text form (FOATEXT) and reference the previously awarded project.

• IF the sponsor considers the renewal an amendment or modification to an existing award, create a new entry and link the new entry to the Banner number of the original proposal.

Revisions to a proposal before official award notification

• Update the current Banner entry. Do not create a new proposal in Banner.

Revisions to a proposal after official award notification
