Kuali Research Proposal Development Requirement for Award Amendments


Overview


Department research administrators will need to create a Kuali Research (KR) Proposal Development (PD) record for certain award amendments.  This action supports the Conflict of Interest (COI) process in KR to 1) automatically notify the investigators that COI disclosure(s) are needed for such amendments and 2) for the COI office to be notified of an award amendment requiring COI disclosure and possibly review. 

 The following award amendments will require a new KR PD record:

  1.  Additional money and extended time period
  2. Additional money within the same time period

Guidance for Department Research Administrators


The department research administrator may either create a brand new KR PD record or copy a previous KR PD record. When copying a KR PD record, the Department Research Administrator may elect to copy over the budget, questionnaires, and attachments. It is recommended to copy the previous proposal and link to the appropriate Original Institutional Proposal (IP) number. The department administrator will need to make sure that the KR PD record is updated so that it aligns with and supports the award amendment. The PI certification will not copy over.

1. Additional Money and Extended Time Period:

Proposal type: Consult with SPO to determine if it should be a New, Renewal, Revision or Continuation

Keyword (if applicable):  Other 

Required attachments: The supporting documents for the amendment should be uploaded, such as the scope of work, budget, and budget justification, as applicable, for the additional work, funding, and project duration. 

Please note that if this is new money that was not contemplated under a previous proposal/KR PD record, then the department research administrator should route a KR PD record with the proposal type as “New” or “Renewal”.

2. Additional money within the same time period:  

Proposal type: Revision

Keyword (if applicable):  Supplement (other than minority supplement) or Minority Suppl. (NIH)

Required attachments: The supporting documents for the amendment should be uploaded, such as the scope of work, budget, and budget justification, as applicable, for the additional work and funding.

Additional Guidance for Sponsored Projects Office (SPO) Officers

Change in PI

NO - Federal awards do not need a new proposal (as KR Award talks to KCOI).  Only need notify COI team to created manual project for non-federal (700-U projects), however, SPOs MUST use Jira (OCGA and SIO) and COI will create a manual project so that no KR PD record is needed.

COI - No PD required.   Except extra steps required for non-federal (700-U) sponsors. 

To ease administrative burden of creating a PD, COI office and the SPO agreed that COI must be notified by SPO to create a manual project trigger a Kuali COI record for disclosure by the new PI through JIRA  (COI pending and add "Change in PI" in Summary and Description, OR via email to info-coi@ucsd.edu if the SPO office does not use JIRA.
