Display-only. System-generated number that uniquely identifies a single proposal.

Status

Required. Select or search  for a status that describes the current state of the project. Statuses include:

P = Proposal. The proposal is still pending agency approval or an official agreement.

W = Withdrawn. The institution has chosen to withdraw the request for funding from the agency.

    All new proposals being submitted to funding agencies should use the status of 'P.' When a proposal is awarded, the AWRD document is created and routed. Upon fully routing the AWRD document, the status for the associated proposal is automatically changed from 'P' to 'A' to indicate that the proposal was awarded. Likewise, creating an award but coding the status as 'U' should also initiate a similar change on the associated proposal so that it also has a status of 'U.
