Overview

Many GCA processes are changing because of UW Finance Transformation. This webpage is designed to guide you through these changes and to share updated information as we receive it. GCA is part of the UWFT Research Administration Pillar and our processes are included in the Grant Award to Close End-to-End.

Award Portal

Award Portal is a replacement for GrantTracker, a system owned by Grant & Contract Accounting that provides up-to-date grant and contract information to UW researchers and staff. The application launched on July 11, 2023. Please visit the Award Portal landing page for a link to the application as well as training resources and materials.

For Sponsors

GCA is in the process of sending several communications to sponsors to inform them of the transition to Workday Finance and what that means for them. We will add samples as they become available.
