Award (Workday)

The award is the core concept and function of Workday Grants Management. An award can be created for each notice of award that we receive from the sponsor. The award allows us to store important information such as the sponsor, beginning and end date, and the funded amount. Each award will have one or more grants such as a prime grant, cost share grants, subaward grants, participant support grants, and grants for collaborating researchers. The award line allows us to associate the grant to the award. The award line stores things about the grant that we cannot store in the grant itself such as billing instructions, indirect cost instructions. The grant worktag is used to capture costs. We can charge a grant, but we cannot charge an award or award line. Each award ID will have an alpha indicator- AWD followed by a 6-digit auto generated sequential number.
