1. Current & Pending Support
Lex Bunten & Anna Korossy

2. Now that I have the report on my SeRA screen, what can I do with it?

3. Current & Pending Support Report
This is what you CAN’T do with it
Download into Word or Excel to edit
Print out as a decent-looking document
Save as a decent-looking PDF file
Edit right there in SeRA
Copy and paste into Word
This is what you CAN Do with it

4. Tips & Tricks: Paste into Word
Paste into a new Word doc
Click “Insert” Tab
Click “Table” on ribbon
Click “Convert Text to Table”
Add solid borders to entire table
Voila! This isn’t half bad…
Anybody have any other ideas?

5. More tips: Person-mo Conversion
Convert % FTE (SU approach) to person-mos (NSF & other sponsors e.g. DoD preferred):
General calculation:
% FTE x # of mos = person-mos
AY = % FTE x 9 mos = AY person-mos
Summer = % FTE x 3 mos = Summer person-mos

6. More tips: Other Support “Clean-up”
Your SeRA Other Support Report might still list a lot of “old”, unawarded proposals:
You can continue to remove these manually
better yet, send an to and request the old pending proposals be “rejected”, i.e., removed (incl SPO #s in request).

7. PI effort Overcommitment
My cleaned-up Other Support report shows my PI is way over-committed
PI has proposed or committed to work more than 100% FTE either in the AY or Summer, or both
What to do? Is this OK?

8. One Final Note
SeRA Team is working on the Other Support Report General Format that we often use
This is the time to send in your improvement ideas, update requests, fixes, etc. They want to hear from us.
