Bridges Advisory #96 – February 03, 2006
Printable versionThe University of Florida is committed to keeping you informed as we continue our transition to the new myUFL systems. To help you with the transition, each week you will receive a Bridges Advisory.
UF Project Management – Grant Award Budgeting. Effective February 1st, 2006, a re–budgeting page (UF Project Management) was made available for all projects that are set at commitment control level 3. This modification will reduce re–budgeting labor by the Contract & Grants offices and allow the departments to manage their budgets at a level 5 for reporting purposes. Starting in March, Project reports will use the detailed budget information from the UF Project Management page. The new functionality will require a new role (UF_GM_PC_BUDREPRT_MGR). If you have any questions contact your Contract and Grants office.
Grants Workflow Enhancement. A pre–award task force, working in conjunction with Bridges, identified a few areas for improvement. Based on the feedback, the PI resource area and department fields will be grayed out when the proposal enters the workflow process and the routing of the workflow for the non–research proposals to the VP for Health Affairs will be corrected. These changes will enhance the workflow process for some 2,500 pre–award users impacting approximately 6,000 proposals yearly.
Updated Instruction Guides. No instruction guides this week.
