Status Search for SOs

With the general search, you can search on the various parts of the award number, including type, activity code, IC, serial number, support year, and suffix; see Deciphering NIH Application/Grant Numbers. You can also search by PD/PI name, budget start and end dates, application status, and grants.gov number.

As an alternative to the award number, you can search on Project Number. If you are searching for a contract project, type all or part of the contract number in the Project Number field, which appears below the six award number fields.

NOTE: Use either the six award number fields OR use the Project Number field; do not use both simultaneously because each searches a different type of numbering system and no results will appear when they are used together.

1. Navigate to the Status module and select General from the Search Type dropdown.

The following screen appears.

2. Enter criteria and click Search.

In the Status Results, click the Application/Award ID to see the Status Information screen for the award, and click its three-dot ellipsis menu for actions that can be performed on the award. See Sample Search Results below.

NOTE: The Status Result - General Search screen differs from the results displayed for PI users. Refer to Status for Program Directors/Principal Investigators (PI Role) for more information.

See Just in Time (JIT) Search for SOs.

The Recently Awarded search is similar to the General Search, except the Recently Awarded Search lets you choose Days Since Awarded as a search criteria.

This search option simply redirects you to the search screen in the ASSIST module, where you can start a new application or find and update an existing application. In ASSIST, click the HSS Applications checkbox to find any human subjects applications with required post submissions. Enter other search criteria, such as the PI name, to narrow the search results further. Consult the ASSIST help for help with the ASSIST search screen.
