Overview

This step-by-step guide shows Program Admins how to duplicate (copy) an award cycle in Next.

What is Duplicating an Award Cycle?

When you create a program, a default award cycle is automatically created in that program. Program admins must set up that cycle’s forms and workflow before it can be used.

• When does it make sense to duplicate an award cycle? 
  • Typically, an award cycle is duplicated when one award cycle has ended, and a new cycle needs to start using the same forms and workflows.
• Who can duplicate award cycles? 
  • Organization Owners
  • Client Admins
  • Program Owners 
  • Program Managers
• What is duplicated?
  • When you duplicate an existing award cycle, its forms (eligibility, intake, request, and feedback forms) and workflow are copied into the new cycle. 
• What needs to be set up in the new cycle?
  • Intake & Review Round Deadlines: You must set new deadline dates for all rounds.
  • Reviewer Assignments: You must assign reviewers to the review rounds in the new cycle.

💡 To add a brand new, blank cycle (rather than duplicate an existing one), please see ➡️Add an Award Cycle.
