MyFunding Updates June 2019 In response to user feedback, the MyFunding module has been updated to incorporate the following changes: 1. Email Award Editors’ Notification Updated The Principal Investigator (PI) will no longer receive an email notification when this activity is executed. 2. Continuation (Progress Report): Addition of the following fields: a. Sponsor Continuation (Progress Report) Due Date b.

Please find the MyFunding updates for May 24th below. The topics of this communication include: • Revised Subaccount Process • New Flow Charts • New MyFunding Search Filter • Topic Specific Training Sessions Revised Subaccount Request Process Users will no longer be required to complete separate subaccount requests when establishing a new award or when completing a modification that includes budget changes.

The PERIS™ MyFunding module has been integrated with Sponsored Project Accounting’s (SPA) system, Research Proposal and Accounting (RPA) to transfer award data from MyFunding to RPA and to electronically receive the account number from RPA into MyFunding. As a result of this integration, the subaccount process has changed. Subaccounts will now be handled entirely by the Master (aka Parent) department in MyFunding, and it will be the responsibility of the Master department to collect and enter all budget level data into MyFunding for the entire award.

The PERIS™ team is excited to announce the launch of Award Activations in the MyFunding module. MyFunding has been updated to provide a wide variety of new resources and functionality to the research community for all federal, non-federal, corporate and foundation awards.

The PERIS™ team is excited to announce that the design, development, testing, and training for Phase 2, Award Activations, in the MyFunding module are complete. The rollout of Award Activations is scheduled for Monday, March 11, 2019. Phase 2 Rollout The rollout of Phase 2 will allow the research community to use MyFunding to create, route, and activate all new and existing awards (including federal grants and contracts, foundation agreements, and corporate contracts), beginning on March 11th, 2019.

In consideration of the two large federal grant deadlines that will be occurring in February and March, the PERIS™ team will delay the rollout of Award Activations in the MyFunding module from February 18th, 2019 until March 11th, 2019. Over the next month, the PERIS™ Team will continue to conduct training sessions for the activation of awards in the MyFunding Module.

The PERIS™ Project Team is pleased to announce additional MyFunding Award Activation training sessions for research administrators. These interactive, hands-on training sessions will focus on activating a new award, modifying an existing award, and preparing and submitting progress reports in the MyFunding module. Each session can accommodate a limited number of individuals and will be led by members of the PERIS™ project team. To register for a session, please use the links below.

Happy Holidays from the PERIS™ Team
