Omnibus Preparation

Omnibus Preparation includes the following steps:

If PIs need to make adjustments to their full proposals as directed by Admins, the call enters its Final Revision Phase, and their proposals are editable again via the Control Panel.
Proposals to be funded are prepared for Omnibus.
Omnibus sections are generated using eSeaGrant reports.

Final Revision Phase

To allow PIs to make adjustments to their full proposals via the Control Panel, toggle the associated call's Final Revision Phase value to 'active'. When this phase is complete, return this setting to 'inactive'.

Preparing Proposals for Omnibus

At this time, only Full Proposals may be toggled for inclusion in the Omnibus. For each Full Proposal that is to be included in the Omnibus, you must (via Full Proposals FMP layout):

Toggle “Include in Omnibus” to 'Yes'
Assign its order within the Omnibus (Omnibus Index).
(90-2 tab) Assign values for Project Code, Project Integer, Project Status, Grant Number, Revision Date (if applicable), and Primary and Secondary Focus Areas. 90-2 grant number assignment automatically updates a proposal's 90-4 grant numbers for the current omnibus cycle.
(Budgets tab) Generate coverpages for sub-award 90-4s. [ see [Budget Management in FMP] ]

Omnibus Generation

eSeaGrant may be used generate the following omnibus sections:

Project Narrative PDF
Budget Narrative PDF
90-2 Bulk Upload Template

*eSeaGrant provides for and requests proposal-specific Data Management Plans, so inclusion of an overall program DMP is optional

For each narrative,

Compile all parts for a narrative into a single PDF, using the guides below. I recommend compiling by section (1-5), and then compiling sections 1-5 into one PDF.
It's recommended that you reduce the size of PDFs generated by Filemaker Pro using a third-party program, such as:
- PDF Shrink (http://www.apagoinc.com/prod_home.php?prod_id=36)
Delete blank pages
