Overview
The Award (AWRD) document allows you to enter detailed information pertaining to the award. The Award document is processed after an agreement has been reached between the external funding agency and the institution. An Award document is entered into Kuali Financials to record all new sponsored projects awarded to the university, and to record amendments to existing agreements such as changes in the duration of the project, projector director or the granting of supplemental funding so that continued research can be carried out.
