2.3 Review the SF424 Application

The SF424 application is populated with information from the funding proposal SmartForms, budget SmartForms, and institutional UNT defaults. Additional questions must be answered directly on the SF424 and your documents should be uploaded directly to the SF424 application.

You can review and update your SF424 application information within the SmartForm pages. You can also generate a PDF version of the application from the workspace.

As you review and update the SF424, it is important to consider what kind of updates you are making and where the appropriate place is to make that edit:

  • If you are editing information that is only on the SF424 (it did not map from your funding proposal or budget), you will make these edits directly on the SF424 application.
  • If you are updating information that originally mapped from the funding proposal or budget, then you must make the edits there and use the Create-Update SF424 activity to edit your SF424 application.

This is not a comprehensive guide to completing the SF424 Application as the instructions and required forms may vary based on the Funding Opportunity. When in doubt, always refer to sponsor guidance or reach out to your GCA Specialist with questions. The information below will introduce commonly required forms and how they are populated by the system.
