Do we need to route to Key Persons now, and also include them in Award Credit and F&A Revenue allocations?

Key Persons should always have been added to the proposal and included in routing for review and approval of their role and commitment on the project. Unit Details had to be added manually and were not included or required for Key Persons previously and they were not included in Award Credit and F&A Revenue allocations except in special circumstances.

I noticed the word "Compliance" in red next to some proposals. What is that for and is any action required?

In some proposals on the Dashboard you will see a small red Compliance pill: . There is no action required on these proposals. It's simply a visual indicator that the project involves Human Subjects or live Vertebrate Animal Subjects. If you click on the Compliance pill you will see what Type (Animal Subjects or Human Subjects) and Status (Exempt, Not Yet Applied, Pending) were included in the proposal.
