Activity Preface

This activity is performed whenever a new project is created and is ready to be funded or when additional funding becomes available for a project.  Projects are funded from award installments, therefore, an award must be created before the project can be funded.  Numerous projects can be funded by a single award installment.

When you are funding a project, each installment must fund the project at the same level.  For example, if an installment funds the project at the project level, the subsequent funding from that installment must also fund at the project level, not at the task level. 

To see a Mental Model for processing funds, navigate to the Integrated System home page and select Archives ® Document Repository.  Scroll down to Processing Funds, or select Processing Funds

Refer to Award Installments and Funding Projects.

4.   Enter your project number.

You may use the List of Values to enter data in the Fund Projects window.  If the project you are funding does not appear in the LOV, check the date ranges of the award and project.

DO NOT complete the Task Number field.

5.   Enter the amount of the funding for your project.

Funding for your project is not necessarily the total installment, since an installment can fund many projects.

If the Project has a “Rejected” status, workflow can be initiated again by highlighting the funded amount in the project funding screen and save.

6.   Save or save and continue to the next line if you are funding more than one project from the award.

7.   Workflow is activated automatically.
