The Institutional Proposal document is the master record for a proposal. Administrators enter and maintain proposal, sponsor, and award information in the Institutional Proposal document.
KC automatically creates the Institutional Proposal document when you submit a Proposal Development document to the sponsor. Administrators can also create an Institutional Proposal document by promoting a Proposal Log document.
After a proposal is funded, an administrator links the Award document to the Institutional Proposal document(s). KC populates the Award document with information from the linked Institutional Proposal(s). Administrators may then modify the proposal information in the Award record.
