American Heart Association

• The American Heart Association grant application, acceptance, and reporting system is entirely on-line. Applications should be routed and post-award modifications should be requested using the usual UMB internal processes.
  
  
• When an award is funded, AHA will send an e-mail to the PI and ORD with instructions of how to accept the grant. There are several forms that must be submitted electronically to AHA by the PI, and two forms that must be printed, signed and submitted to AHA on paper: the Agreement Form and the Grantee Release Form, which must be forwarded to ORD for signature.
  
  
• ORD is the institutional office authorized to accept awards on behalf of the University. To ensure that the ORD award file is complete, please forward print-outs of the other award acceptance forms submitted electronically to AHA by the PI.
  
  
• Continuation funding of AHA grants is dependent upon submission of an annual progress report. After submitting the report to AHA electronically, PIs must route for internal approvals a printed copy of their report along with their budget for the upcoming year.
