Proposal Management: Find PAFs/Proposals/Projects

Overview

You can find projects for Proposal Approval Forms (PAFs) (and Awards, ACRs, SUBKs, and UFAs) using either:

• Filter: Search for projects in your Home Workspace tabs using Filter.
  • The Filter by function is used to narrow a list of PAFs/proposals/projects that share specified criteria such as State or Principal Investigator (PI). You will find this function in your Home Workspace wherever there are PAFs/proposals/projects listed.
• All PAFs: Displays a list of all PAFs/proposals/projects that you have permission to view and/or edit. You have permission to view and/or edit based on whether you are:
  • Listed as Key Personnel
  • Listed as Administrative Personnel
  • A Reviewer for a department listed on PAF

Note The All Awards tab can be used when searching for an Award (AWD), Award Change Request (ACR), and Award Modification (MOD).
