To help ensure that MyFunding data remains accurate, any funding proposal that stays in ‘Pending Sponsor Review’ status for more than one (1) year will trigger an automated notification (Figure 1). A follow-up reminder will be sent every 90 days thereafter
to both the Department Administrator and the Principal Investigator. At each notification, the funding proposal status should be reviewed and updated when possible. </div>

Effective February 18, 2026, any funding proposal that has remained in a “Pending Sponsor Review” for more than two (2) years will be automatically updated to “Not Funded”. This status change will not generate email notifications. If the proposal should reflect
a status other than “Not Funded,” please email the Specialist on the record to inform them of the correct status.</div>
