When communicating with Sponsored Projects Services (SPS) about a proposal, do you prefer we reference the Proposal # or the Document #?

Both the Proposal number and Document number were available and acceptable under UAR 5.2.1, however the Proposal number was more difficult to locate so the Document number became the preferred way to reference a proposal. In the updated UAR SaaS environment the Proposal number is more prominent and easier to locate, but SPS will still accept both numbers when referencing your proposal.

Are companies or nonprofits involved in the project?

Answer this question ‘Yes’ if this proposal involves companies or non-profits as partners if they are not already listed as a sponsor or prime sponsor. This would be the case for proposals where a company or nonprofit is a subrecipient, consultant, advisor, etc. If the answer is ‘Yes’ then it is required in the UAccess Research (UAR) proposal to list the full name(s) of any company or non-profit organization that will be involved as a partner, separated by commas.
