Mark for Decline

Select scored proposals, mark them for decline to the Grant Program Director for approval.

Before you begin

Role required: sn_svc_appl_pgm_mg.grant_program_manager

Use this procedure to select scored proposals and mark them for decline for the approval of the Grant Program Director.

• The grant program must be in the Accepting Proposals or Active state.

• Proposals must have completed merit review and scoring. Only scored proposals appear on the Funding Allocation tab.

About this task

Proposals that you mark for decline are in a tentative, reversible state indicating that the Grant Program Manager has flagged a proposal for decline. The proposal has not yet been submitted for approval to the Grant Program Director, and you can reverse the recommendation at any time before submitting the decline request.

Procedure

Mark proposals for decline

Proposals that you mark for decline are in the tentative, reversible recommendation state indicating that the GPM has flagged a proposal for potential decline. This recommendation can be reversed before submission to the GPD for review. No budget is allocated against proposals in this state, and their amounts are excluded from the Decisions in progress chart segment.

1. Navigate to All > Public Sector Workspace.
2. Navigate to Lists > Grant Programs and select All.
3. Open the grant program record and select the Funding Allocation tab.
4. In the Scored Proposals list, select one or more proposals with Undecided funding status.
5. Select Mark for Decline in the toolbar.
6. In the Mark for Decline confirmation dialog, provide a recommendation reason.

   This field is mandatory. The reason you provide is included in the applicant's rejection letter if the decline is approved.

7. Select Mark for Decline to confirm.
   Note:

   Marking a proposal for decline resets any previously allocated budget for that proposal to zero. This action is reversible — you can return the proposal to Undecided status before submitting the funding request.
