You do not need signatures in the Awards Web Form. By the time you are ready to enter the award nomination request using the web form, the award approval is complete and ready for OHR submission.

No, any non-ratings-based award valued at $10,000+ will be tracked outside of the POP Awards Process, typically using either Special Pay and/or Senior Level Pay.

Absolutely! The nominating IC can nominate and submit awards for employees outside of their IC using the Web Form.

After submitting an award, the IC requester may add attachments (e.g. Justification, NIH 2833 form, etc.) to be included with their award submission to HR from the Confirmation section.

Note: Documents of any type (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, PDF, etc.) can be attached. There is no size limit for attached files however, it is recommended that the total size of all files you attach be under 50MB (most commonly attached documents tend to be less than 1MB).

No, if an employee has left NIH you will not be able to submit an award for that employee through the IC Web Form. If you would like to submit an award for a departed employee, work with your Servicing CSD Branch directly.

No, ICs will have to submit two award requests using the Web Form. These are considered two separate actions, even if it is for the same event.

The Awards Web Form is accessed via the HR Request page. From the HR Request page click on the "Submit An Award Nomination" tile. 

No, ICs do not have to submit the NIH-2833 Nomination Form when using the Awards Web Form.  However, ICs may add attachment(s) in the Confirmation section when they submit awards if they wish.  

Non-ratings-based awards include monetary and non-monetary awards (Time Off and/or Cash) which are not linked to employee PMAP ratings, such as Special Act Awards. Currently, POP does not include QSIs.

Notification emails go out to the IC Submitter, Initiating Official, Employee Supervisor, and Employee Timekeeper. The system is unable to turn off email notifications for certain individuals if they fall into any of the above categories. We are unable to add additional recipients to emails. We would encourage IC staff who wish to be aware (and have approval from their EO or EO’s Designee) of the status of award actions to sign up to receive the award-related reports in WiTS via report subscription.
