• PI changes department.

•  PRF indicates area, GA sets account up, Dept. calls and - oops the wrong area was on the PRF.

•  How will we handle future years?

• How will the GA know when incremental payments are made?

• How will we handle Master, Member, Consortium Agreements?

• How will we handle agreements for $0 that are clinical trials (drug only provided by company) or (cost share only)?

• How will we look up historical data that we currently look up in egmsi?

• How will we setup advance or preaward accounts?

• Will there be a cufs friendly budget in the people soft? (departments have call SPA with this question)

• How will subcontracts be numbered and accounted for in people soft?

• We received many revised proposals before an award is made, how will these be linked?

• What is the process for investments (TIP)?

• Incremental funding do we recognize the total or each year?

• How will budget deviations be handled?

• How will we change the Agency after the proposal has been submitted?

• Will there be 'canned' email "special review" notifications for IBC, IRB, REPA, and RCR?

• We currently use egmsi as a search engine for identifying projects. This is especially needed for us when we only receive a morsel of information and have to recognize the project, and respond to a question or refer the call to the correct person. How will this be accomplished in people soft?

• How will conversion be handled with existing sponsored projects and EFS - objects/subobjects vs. account values.

• I received a call recently from the Humphrey Inst. and they are concerned about EFS conversion with regard to subawards/subcontracts as it appears that they will all roll up into one overall sub value (when there are more than 1 on a project).

• Will encumbrances be closed and then reopened in EFS?

• How will payments be handled in the new system so that we know we have rec'd new awards? It's not working well now and don't know if we should expect even more delays with EFS.

• When would we be sending out new information on the "gold cards" that are sometimes sent with proposals? when will we receive the new lock box address & information for payments etc.? It would seem that we should be sending out this information now with proposals submissions.

• What do we do with awards that are to be set up in the future? I have one I'm holding that has a the start date of 11/01/08? Do we process NOGAs in EGMSi?

• Will we still be able to access historical info. in EGMSi or how long will that be maintained?

• Some of us have written Word documents that we use to cut and paste terms into NOGAs - things we've gleaned from application info., from sponsor web sites, conversations with sponsors etc. How will this be handled as we go forward?

• With the proposed realignment in SPA, if account setup staff do all of the setups will they also be taking all questions from Dept. & PIs on those setups?
