You may not have access to view all the proposals created by other users in your department unless they give you a role that allows you to view it. Alternatively, there is a role in Kuali Coeus that allows a user to see all proposals in progress in your unit. This role may be requested by the Primary Financial Authorizer in your unit. 

Once a proposal has been created in a lead unit, the lead unit cannot be changed. Users that are authorized to create proposals in more than one unit must select the Lead Unit at the time the new proposal is created or copied. An aggregator on the existing proposal can copy it (be sure to select Budget(s) and Narratives), and select a new lead unit to save the initial work.

Anyone entered as non-MIT personnel must have a unit entered for Grants.gov submission purposes and more specifically for the RR Key Person Expanded Form. To enter a Unit, it is recommended that it be the same as your Lead unit.
