Overview Beginning with eRPM Release 5.2, Awards will have the ability to be "linked" by relating award records. A Set Restricted Award Relationship activity is available to mark an Award in an "Active" State as a Type 2 Parent, meaning that it is eligible to have a sub-project award created off of it. Once an award is marked as a parent, then children subproject awards can be created from it. This is referred to as "Type 2" linking of awards.
