UAR Update

Yes. As long as an original document was uploaded as an attachment prior to routing, the proposal initiator can replace the attachment with an updated/revised version by navigating to the Attachments section and clicking the Details button on the right side of the page next to the desired attachment. The initiator will then choose the new file to upload and click Save. 

Title case is used to provide consistency in the system and in reporting. Please do not use ALL CAPITALS or all lowercase in proposal/project titles. 

In title case, major words are capitalized and most minor words are lowercase. If your title uses alternate capitalization where a letter other than the first letter of a word is used in the acronym and requires special emphasis, please capitalize as you feel is best indicated for your acronym. 

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. 

Click on Common Tasks in the left-hand navigation panel. Find the Proposal Development card and select Create Proposal. 

See the Create and Save a New Proposal video for step-by-step instructions. Be aware that there are additional videos for completing each section of the Proposal Development document and submitting the proposal to routing for review, approval, and submission. 

There are a few potential explanations: 

No. Campus users may only create Proposal Development documents. Only Sponsored Projects, the Office of Research Contracts, and UAHS Contracts will be able to create Institutional Proposals, Negotiations, Awards and Subawards. You will receive an error message if you attempt to create any of these document types and do not have the appropriate provisioning. 

Yes. Your Automatic Refresh Rate, Action List Page Size, Fields Displayed, Color Coding for Route Status, and Email Notification Preferences will all be migrated over to the updated UAccess Research system.

Yes. The content included/shown on the Medusa page is the same in the updated UAccess Research System. It just has a different look and feel.

You will be able to look up Negotations by department in the current version of UAccess Research (v. 5.2.1) until Thursday, January 20th before 5pm. After that, the old system will go dark. During system conversion, all negotiation records will be transferred over to the updated UAccess Research system. You will be able to look up Negotiations by department in the updated version of UAccess Research (Kuali SaaS) after go-live on Tuesday, January 25 after 8am. 

You will have access to items in the 'Proposals not routing' card on the dashboard if you:

• initiated the proposal document
• are included as Personnel on the project (PI, Co-I, Key Person)
• are provided viewer, editor, or aggregator privileges through the Access tab of the proposal
• are provisioned to view or approve proposals for any unit included in the proposal 
• are added as an Ad Hoc with an Acknowledge, FYI, or Approve action
