Call Management

To create a new call, go to Calls in FMP and add a new record.

ID: This is the integer ID that the Admin will use to create a set of instructions for the call (see below).

Active: '1' toggles the call to appear in the drop-down list of calls that PIs may submit to upon log-in.

Title: Title of the call, that will appear in the header of the proposal submission interfaces (e.g. RFP FY2011).

Type: Type of call (e.g. Omnibus)

RFP date: This is the date that the email announcing the new Request for Proposals is sent.

Start Date: The start date of funding for proposals submitted to this call.

End Date: The end date of funding for proposals submitted to this call.

Proposal Num. Prefix: Isn't this redundant? The call has an ID.

90-4 Expiration Date: This is the date that will appear at top-right on the 90-4 form generated for this call.

Require Pre-Proposal?: Select 'Yes' if this call requires a pre-proposal.

Pre-Proposal Deadline: The date and time that the pre-proposal submission interface will automatically close to PIs. Enter date and time in this format: [MM/DD/YYYY HH:MM AM/PM] (e.g. 5/16/2012 5:00 PM).

Require Pre-Proposal Budget Justification?: Select 'No' if this call requires a pre-proposal, and if the pre-proposal budget requires line-item justification.

Pre-Proposal Review Deadline: The date and time at which reviewers are expected to have submitted their pre-proposal reviews. This value is for reference only, and does not control interface access.

Pre-Proposal Review Configuration: Either Simple or Complex. Simple requests only a single rating per proposal from the reviewer, while Complex requests an array of scores for call-specific evaluation criteria. If Complex is chosen, the evaluation criteria set to be used for pre-proposal reviews must be created by the eSG Administrator.

Full Proposal Deadline: The date and time that the full proposal submission interface will automatically close to PIs. Enter date and time in this format: [MM/DD/YYYY HH:MM AM/PM] (e.g. 5/16/2012 5:00 PM).

Full Proposal Peer Review Deadline: The date and time at which reviewers are expected to have submitted their peer reviews. This value is for reference only, and does not control interface access.

Full Proposal Peer Review Configuration: Either Simple or Complex. Simple requests only a single rating per proposal from the reviewer, while Complex requests an array of scores for call-specific evaluation criteria. If Complex is chosen, the evaluation criteria set to be used for peer reviews must be created by the eSG Administrator.

Rebuttal Deadline: The date and time that PIs must submit rebuttals by (interface DOES NOT close). Enter date and time in this format: [MM/DD/YYYY HH:MM AM/PM] (e.g. 5/16/2012 5:00 PM).

Full Proposal Panel Review Deadline: The date and time at which reviewers are expected to have submitted their panel reviews. This value is for reference only, and does not control interface access.

Final Revision Phase: If the full proposal interface needs to be re-opened to edits by PIs following panel review, select 'active'.

Make sure that all FYs involved in active calls are fully managed via the FYs layout in RFP FMP.  The FY table drives the FY select drop-down in the proposal budget worksheet, and the On-Campus and Off-Campus Research rates are provided as defaults for Indirect Cost rates in budgets created by PIs affiliated with your institution.

FY: 2/1 - 1/31 fiscal years are entered in this format: [YYYY] (e.g. 2018), but this field should really be considered as a custom label for its related duration. For FYs that span periods other than 2/1 - 1/31, it's acceptable to use alternate naming methods (e.g. 2018 - Seed Proposals)

Duration: Enter fiscal year duration in this format: [MM/DD/YYYY - MM/DD/YYYY] (e.g. 02/01/18 - 01/31/19)

start: Enter fiscal year start date in this format: [MM/DD/YYYY] (e.g. 02/01/18)

end: Enter fiscal year end date in this format: [MM/DD/YYYY] (e.g. 01/31/19)

On-Campus, Research: Enter on-campus, research indirect cost rate percentage for a fiscal year as a decimal value (e.g. 0.675) 

Off-Campus, Research: Enter off-campus, research indirect cost rate percentage for a fiscal year as a decimal value (e.g. 0.06)
