Proposal Summary       CMPRMSTR             

CMPRMSTR is used primarily by Sponsored Agreements to locate assigned proposal numbers.  Prior to 1997, most assigned proposal numbers were formatted with a year followed by a sequential number.  Each entity Budget and Planning Office assigned and tracked their own numbers (creating duplicates).

Beginning in 1997, with the development of the Advance Notice System, all numbers are electronically assigned for all entities.  The format is the current year and a sequentially assigned number.

Exercise:

1. To search for a new, 7-digit proposal number:

<      Press “F3”

<      “Select New”

<      Enter “1997072”

<      Press Return

Note for 1997 and beyond, there is no former proposal number, only the new proposal number.

2. To search for an “old” proposal number:

<      Press “F3”

<      “Select New”

<      Move to “Former Proposal Number:” using either TAB or Arrow Keys

<      Enter “96-13” (using either number pad or top row of numbers)

<      Press Return

<      Press “F6” to see the second proposal with this old number, note two unique new numbers.

Note for old or former proposal numbers, there may be more than one proposal with the same old number; use the previous and next keys to check.
