Award Management System (AMS) supports pre-award requests and automated notifications of award setups, in addition to the electronic Labor Redistributions (LDCAs), Effort Reporting, Committed Effort Management and the My Funding grant review module. Over the coming year, the system will be expanded to include other grant management functions.

AMS Help-AMS Quick Guides
Committed effort that is promised to a sponsor (as part of the proposal) for principal investigators (PIs), co-principal investigators and key personnel is available for review by faculty and departmental staff at UConn Health via the Committed Effort Report which can be accessed via AMS (only available within UCH internal network). These reports are entered and tracked by the AMS-Committed Effort module.
- Fund Setup Team enters all faculty member’s and key personnel’s committed effort based on the grant application when completing the fund setup.
- Fund Setup Team deletes/edits faculty member and key personnel’s existing committed effort if change in committed effort is approved by the sponsor.
- It is expected that the PIs and his/her department administrators will report significant reductions in committed effort for PIs and additional key personnel to sponsors.
