October 2024 Enhancements to the Proposal and Award Metrics Dashboard

The following new features are now available in the Proposal and Award Metrics Dashboard (PAMDash). These enhancements reflect the continued collaboration between Contracts and Grants Accounting and UCSF’s research administration community to provide self-service access to extramural funding metrics.

  • New dashboard page:

    • A new Diversity Supplement dashboard page shows monthly, yearly, and cumulative funding amounts for awards with diversity supplements.
  • New metrics and data elements:
    • Expense Budget Balance: A new column on the Data: Award Funding & General dashboard page is the difference between the expense budget amount and the total expense amount.
    • NIH Prorated Funding: Upon filtering the Funding Amount, Top Sponsors, NIH Mechanism, and Diversity Supplement dashboard pages to the Funding Type value “Prorated Funding”, all metrics will show the prorated monthly or yearly funding amount where the total award modification funding is allocated equally between the funding period begin date and end date.
  • New data filters for the following:
    • Proposal Status: A new filter in the Proposal Summary, Proposal Amount, and Data: Proposal Detail Data By Year dashboard pages allows users to view proposals based on their status: Awarded (proposals that generated an award); Not Funded (proposals where the Sponsor communicated the proposal will not be funded or where one year has passed since the proposal was submitted); In Progress (proposals submitted to the sponsor and we await a response).
    • Funding Type: Added to the Top Sponsors, NIH Funding Mechanism, and Data: Award Funding Detail Data by Year dashboard pages, use this filter to view award dollars by Funding Added (default) or Prorated Funding.
    • Action Type: Use this new filter on the Data: Award Funding Detail Data By Year dashboard page to limit funding entries by specific award modification action type (e.g., New, Diversity Supplement, Transfer In).
    • RSA Name: Available on all dashboard pages, use to limit proposal and award data to the Research Services Analyst (RSA) assigned.
  • A link to help and contact information is available from all pages.
