9 Update to New LOC Subaccount Payment process

10 Transition to New LOC Subaccounts Operational Issues Meeting April 8, 2014

11 Meeting Agenda  Introductions  Background of LOC Change  Keeping Current Fund vs. Setting up New Fund  FY15 Non-competing Renewals Impacted by the Change  By Hospital  By Chief Code  Review of Operational Issues  Next Steps 11

12 BACKGROUND Details of LOC Change to Subaccounts 12

13 Significant Change in LOC Payment Requests for FY14 & FY15  During FY14 and FY15 the Federal Payment Management System (PMS) will transition the LOC payment request process from one that requests payment by a pooled total to one that requests payment by award document I.D. number (referred to as subaccounts)  Current method: Pooled accounts (G accounts) – Hospital Pin # = 4 digits + G  New method: Subaccounts (P accounts) – New Hospital Pin# = same 4 digits + P  Applies to grants from all DHHS agencies  Does not apply to DHHS contracts  Change affects new and competing continuation DHHS awards made on or after 10/1/13  Change affects non-competing continuation DHHS awards made on or after 10/1/14  All FY15 funding non-competing continuation awards will be issued as Type 4 awards (funded extension awards) during the transition year instead of Type 5’s, but will revert to Type 5’s in FY16  New document ID’s will be issued for the FY15 funding by the DHHS agency. The FY15 non-competing year award will be issued a doc ID that is different from the doc ID associated with the FY14 award. The last alpha character of the document ID will change from “A” to “B” 13

14  The budget period end on the FY14 funding will be changed to the project end date when the FY15 award is issued  NIH is effectively separating the single competitive segment in to two shorter competitive segments. The FY14 funding becomes the final year of the first competitive segment  FSRs will be required for the first competitive segment  The change in project end date will be reflected in eRA Commons, but new Notice of Awards will not be issued for the FY14 award to reflect the change in project end date  Project start dates not changing  Applies to all awards, including fellowships. Fellowships don’t require FSRs. No FSR will be required for the end of the “A” segment but all funds should be drawn. No carryover of balances for fellowships will be permitted. Only one termination notice is required at the end of entire project period  New requirement for subaccount process: LOC must be drawn by 90 days after project end date. After 90 days, LOC requests will not be processed until the awarding agency has approved the payment request 14 Significant Change in LOC Payment Requests for FY14 & FY15

15  Treatment of unobligated balances from the FY14 award to the FY15 award:  If automatic carryover, the amount of the unobligated balance reported on the FY14 funding FSR will automatically be carried over and added to the new subaccount  If prior approval is required, the unobligated balance reported on the FY14 funding FSR will automatically be transferred to the subaccount, but the PI will still be required to submit a prior approval request. If approved, a new Notice of Award will be issued reflecting the carryover and the amount will be reflected in PMS  Unliquidated obligations not allowed on the FY14 funding FSR  Unobligated balances in excess of 25% will be subject to scrutiny by the GMO. GMO’s may determine that some or all of the unobligated balance is not necessary to complete the project and may restrict the grantee’s authority to automatically carry over unobligated balances in the future, use the balance to reduce or offset NIH funding for a subsequent budget period, or a combination of the above 15 Unobligated Balances

16 NEW DOCUMENT ID NUMBERS Keep Same Fund Number vs. Setup New Fund Number 16

17 Advantages to keeping the same fund number  No need to change fund numbers in interfacing systems  No EDC’s, PO’s, EDI accounts or patient care accounts need to be changed Disadvantages to Keeping the Same Fund Number  More than one Doc ID# for each fund number. Will require a custom in PeopleSoft to maintain Doc ID history  Need to track budget, PMS authorized amount, contract limit, expenses, reported FSR amount and revenue drawn by old and new Doc ID – customs  Expenses pertaining to each Doc ID segment need to be drawn under the applicable LOC Pin, i.e. expenses for Doc ID “A” need to be drawn under the “A” Pin and expenses for Doc ID “B” need to be drawn under the “B” Pin  Pin is at the sponsor and business unit level. New funds will default to the new Pin number when pushed to PeopleSoft. Existing funds will need to manually be changed to the new Pin when switched to the new Doc ID  When to change from the A Pin to the B Pin? There’s no clean cutover. Expenses posting after the budget end date that should be drawn on A, might systematically be drawn on B or vice versa. Will require complicated credit and rebill procedures by the LOC team in order to draw under the correct Pin  Consider using NOBILL custom for LOC funds. Would require detailed reconciliation of expense line by expense line to determine which LOC Pin to draw under.  Need additional PeopleSoft queries in order to capture customs 17 Keep The Same Fund Number

18 Advantages to Setting up a New Fund Number  Fewer customs needed  Segregation of expenses by Doc ID and Pin facilitates correct LOC draws  Improved compliance  Expenses that post to the old fund number/old Doc ID that belong on the new fund/Doc ID, can be transferred to the new fund via the standard cost transfer process. LOC revenue is corrected without extra credit/rebill steps. Using our systems as designed facilitates clean data and neat reconciliations  Use advance funds to accumulate expenses under the correct Doc ID. We won’t be able to draw on the new fund until the NGA is received, but expenses will accumulate under the correct LOC Pin  No manual reconciliation required in order to draw under the correct Pin. Contract limit in PeopleSoft will equal the PMS Authorized Amount Disadvantages to Setting up a New Fund Number  Will require more work by RM to setup advance funds  Initial inconvenience to Research Community  EDC’s, PO’s, EDI accounts and other interfacing data will need to be updated with the new fund number in advance of the FY15 start date  Tracking of 1 st $25K of subcontract expense subject to OH may span both fund numbers if not fully realized on the old fund. Insight budgeting issue for the 1 st $25K of expense 18 Setup a New Fund Number

19 The advantages of setting up a new fund number and the disadvantages of keeping the existing fund number led us to conclude that the best decision from a compliance, systems and data perspective was to setup new fund numbers for the new Doc ID’s  While this will be an inconvenience in FY15, the transition year, it is a one year issue  Keeping the same fund number will be an inconvenience for the remainder of the project period. It becomes a multi year issue 19 Decision

26 Research Application Security (RAS) utility

27 Data Reconciliation  Security Levels  Key Giver Role. 27

28 On March 28th the Partners Research Applications group released a new application which allows individual departments/divisions to self-administer user security for Insight and InfoEd applications. Research Applications Security (RAS), is accessible to all Partners Healthcare users inside and outside of the firewall so users can request access whatever their location and the application can be accessed via links found in the Log-in pages of both Insight and InfoEd. 28

29 “Key Giver” This role has some specific responsibilities for managing and maintaining the security access privileges related to the Insight and InfoEd applications. You will automatically be defaulted into the role as an approver for RAS requests. If you feel that this designation is not correct for you please contact the Research Applications Group Help Desk (InsightHelpDesk@partners.org).InsightHelpDesk@partners.org 29

30 RAS Background Historically - security requests Insight (230 per month) InfoEd (122 per month) Aggregation of permissions across departments and applications Decreasing the variability Give control and annual audit responsibility to departments/divisions *Central RM users are out of scope for the time being Sub-Committee Initiative & Priority Working group involvement from both BWH & MGH 30
