If the file is not a pdf (i.e. Word document) which doesn't allow preview then only the download option will be available. Also, if you have watermark functionality enabled you will see 'With watermark' or 'Without watermark' options available under download for PDF attachments. If the PDF file is too large to download with the watermark applied it will show 'With watermark' in red and upon clicking it will give an error 'Unable to watermark pdf'. Also, if for whatever reason the file is not present or did not upload correctly it will also show the 'Without watermark' or normal 'Download' options in red and throw an error if you attempt to download. See full announcement here (RESPRO-5005, RESPRO-4456)
PROPOSAL - S2S - Now mandatory unsupported s2s forms don't have to be uploaded first before attaching the associated Grants.gov opportunity.

PROPOSAL - S2S - NIH Forms H now available for S2S Grants.gov in Kuali Research. Agencies periodically update application forms, typically to remain current with the Office of Management and Budget approvals and to align with new data collection policies. There are a series of Forms H updates currently available in production affecting S2S submissions for deadlines on or after Jan 25th. These are relatively small changes such as expiration date updates, adding an object code to the budget, and a new narrative type. View NIH’s Summary PDF to learn more about the specific updates. Also, outlined below are the forms that had updates and what changed in Kuali and more information given in the announcement found here:
- PHS 398 Career Development Award Supplemental Form 6.0:New attachment 17. Other Plan(s), change in attachment numbering, and expiration date update. In Kuali we added new Narrative Type 190 of 'PHS_CareerDevelopmentAwardSupplement_Other_Plans'.
- PHS 398 Research Plan 5.0:New attachment 11. Other Plan(s), change in attachment numbering, and expiration date update. In Kuali we added new Narrative Type 192 of 'PHS_ResearchPlan_Other_Plans'.
- PHS 398 Research Training Program Plan 5.0: New attachment 13. Other Plan(s), change in attachment numbering, and expiration date update. In Kuali we added new Narrative Type 193 of 'PHS_ResearchTrainingProgramPlan_Other_Plans'.
- PHS Fellowship Supplemental Form 7.0: New attachment 17. Other Plan(s), change in attachment numbering, and expiration date update. In Kuali we added new Narrative Type 191 of 'PHS_Fellowship_Supplemental_Other_Plans'.
- RR Budget: Within section F. Other Direct Costs, NIH added instructions for NIH applications submitting a Data Management and Sharing Plan. "Data Management and Sharing Costs" must be noted as a single line item in Other Direct Costs if an attachment of 'Other Plan(s)' is included in the Research Plan or Career Dev form. In Kuali we added object code DMSC0001 'Data Management and Sharing Costs' for this purpose. If the user does not add the new object code to their budget, they receive an error like the following from the NIH Validation Service:
If a user does not add the new object code to their budget, they receive the following NIH Validation Service error message: RR_Budget - 020.45.1 - 1706 - An entry labeled "Data Management and Sharing Costs" must be entered in the Other Direct Cost section F of the R&R Budget form since an attachment has been uploaded to the Other Plan(s) section of the PHS 398 Research Plan Form.
Please note, the new object code (DMSC0001) was automatically mapped to the MTDC rate applied in the Valid Cost Element table. If you desire other rates (i.e. inflation) to be applied to this new object code you will need to manually apply. Also, this object code was added without a Unit Number associated so it won't show up by default in the Object Code Name dropdown; a user would have to select Other Category Type, then 'Data Management and Sharing Costs' in Category, and finally 'Data Management and Sharing Costs' in Object Code. If you want this to appear in the Object Code Name dropdown by default you can add the top level hierarchy unit (000001) to the object code.
- PHS 398 Cover Page Supplement: Expiration date update only.
- PHS 398 Modular Budget: Expiration date only with updates to instructions for attachments.
- PHS 398 Training Budget: Expiration date updates only.
- PHS 398 Training Subaward Budget: Expiration date update only.

Now it will automatically sync but if you have the option in each award to 'disable autosync' within the Central Admin panel if you desire to manually add someone and not have it automatically pull from the the central admins configured in the Unit Administrator table. We've also added two new parameters to control this functionality. The first is AUTOSYNC_AWARD_CENTRAL_ADMIN_CONTACTS_BY_DEFAULT (set to Y by default) that determines the default autosync behavior for award central admin contacts. If Y it will automatically sync from the Unit Administrator table for Central Admin Contacts for every award but it can be disabled on a per award bases. If the parameter is set to N it allows you to turn off autosync entirely as default but you can reenable on a per award basis. Parameter
ALLOW_DELETE_DEFAULT_CENTRAL_ADMIN_CONTACTS (set to set to N by default) allows you to enable delete option in Central Admin Contacts panel of the award if the sync option has been disabled for the award (RESKC-5229, RESKC-5293)

SUBAWARD - Fixes issue where the Funding Award Agency was not mapping on the FDP template if the Sponsor was not an exact match. The FAA field is mapped from the Sponsor Acronym. If the acronym has additional text besides the main acronym for the agency, field will map based on finding the acronym within that field. For example, if the acronym was NIH-GM, the field would display NIH (RESKC-5162)
EXPORT CONTROL - Adds a Correspondence History by Project Person section to the Export Control Project Actions section. A user can reference the correspondence history for any project person listed on the project to see when was the last time the person received the same correspondence and decide what type of correspondence to send or if new correspondence is required (RESKC-5164)
SUBAWARD - Fixes issue where the Subaward Budget Period End Date and Estimated Period of Performance End Date on the FDP template were reversed. Subaward Budget Period End Date refers to the end date related to the current budget period as entered on the Financial tab and Estimated Period of Performance End Date refers to the overall subaward end date as entered on the Subaward tab (RESKC-5154)
PROPOSAL - S2S - Maps the 'Period Covered by the Indirect Cost Rate Agreement' Dates fields from the start and end dates specified in the organization record for the F&A rate instead of the proposal start and end dates for the ED 524 Budget Form (RESKC-4683)
PROPOSAL - S2S - Fixes issue where S2S Submission status of Rejected with Errors would cause an error when trying to open the Grant Application.zip (RESKC-5272)
PROPOSAL - Attachments can be now be re-ordered within the Attachments section of the proposal so that they will appear in the required order on specific grants.gov forms depending on Sponsor guidelines. Once you add more than one attachment you will see down arrows and if clicked it will move the attachment and then up/down arrows will be available on all attachments to move to the desired order. For S2S forms the order in the Attachments tab of the proposal will mimic the order mapped to the form. The only exception to that is for the Attachments form - it currently maps the opposite order of how it displays in the Kuali proposal; we hope to eventually fix that to be consistent (RESKC-1484,SPR-22)

performanceEnddate (number)
(RESKC-5148)
DASHBOARD - Fixes issue causing errors on dashboard cards (RESKC-5269)
PROPOSAL - Removes red asterisks displayed on field names when creating a proposal from a Grant Forward Funding Opportunity since they are not required to create a proposal (RESKC-5098)

PROTOCOLS - Introduces a fix for Kuali Protocols on Mobile Safari. Users leveraging Safari on mobile and tablets should have secure access to Kuali Protocols on their device. Mobile formatting presents protocol information on the 'Manage Protocols' screen in rows instead of the traditional columns, while retaining the bulk of the interface within the protocol form itself (RESPRO-3862)
PROTOCOLS - Introduces a fix for organizations results failing to fully populate within the 'Participating Site' tab on a protocol form. The previous API limited the organizations list to 100 results in the lookup. Now, users and institutions should be able to confidently search and select participating sites from their full organizations list (RESPRO-4040)
COI - Addresses text reformatting and syntax changes within the 'General Configurations' page in Kuali COI (RESCOI-4084)

DASHBOARD - Fixes issue where a webpage could be inserted into the dashboard via the URL (RESKC-4133/20.1.2)
DASHBOARD - Fixes issue where capitalized text didn't bring back correct (or any) results when using filters (RESKC-3967/20.1.1)
NEGOTIATION - Adds a ‘Links to Module’ field to the Negotiation Association Type table/business object/maintenance document to allow users to map new Association Types to one of the out-of-the-box module types (Award, Subaward, IP, Proposal Log). When the new type is selected, the behavior will mimic that of the mapped module. For example, if you added an Association Type of Funded Agreement linked to Institutional Proposal then when Funded Agreement is selected, the Institutional Proposal lookup is rendered. If no linked module is selected, the behavior will mimic that of ‘None’ (RESKC-3796)
