Narrative Types

 

The Narrative Types maintenance document is used to establish and maintain numeric codes and textual description values which are stored in database tables.  This data serves as reference information that is made available for display and selection in various areas of the system, including other e-docs.  Narrative types refer to the types of files attached to a proposal document.  These files are transmitted to the sponsor during Grants.gov S2S submission. For instance, Project Summary is a Narrative Type.  You select Narrative Types while uploading file attachments on the Abstracts and Attachments page of the KC Proposal Development e-doc.

It is recommended that you do not delete existing values, and only modify them if the new description is synonymous with the original term.
