Using GTCrossroads to Manage an Award
GTCrossroads offers campus administrators, researchers, and PIs the ability to track proposals, manage awards, request subagreement actions, and submit deliverables. Areas key to managing an award include:
- Intranet Contracting Officers Log (ICOL): Pre-award information can be found here
- OSP Contract Information System: Contains most post-award functions, such as deliverable submission and requests for subagreements
You will need your GT Account ID and Kerberos password to login — these are the same credentials you use to log into Techworks/Buzzport.
