GRANTS.GOV
Information
Grants.gov Quickstart:
- Download the PureEdge Viewer Software (PC ONLY) http://www.grants.gov/resources/download_software.jsp#pureedge
- Find and Download an
Application Package via a Keyword Search on Grants.gov: http://www.grants.gov/applicants/find_grant_opportunities.jsp
OR by following the link within a funding announcement. Save the application to your
computer.
- Review the application
package carefully. The new forms often require new, substantive
content that can be time consuming. Discovering this new content
late in the application process can throw off your timetable.
- Fill out each form within
the package listed under “Required Documents.” You
only need to fill out fields highlighted in YELLOW.
- Most of the institutional
information you need to fill out the forms can be found under
“Institutional Information” on this website. Your
SPA can help you prepare forms, convert documents to PDF format, and
develop your budget provided you contact them at least 2 weeks
prior to your deadline.
- Unlike other online grant
proposal systems you may have used in the past, a GRANTS.GOV
application is stored on your computer rather than on a website.
That means not just anyone can go on and edit the proposal.
Emailing the proposal back and forth can cause confusion over which
version is the most recent one, so we recommend that a single point of
contact be established to gather information from collaborators and
assemble the proposal.
- Grants.gov proposals are
always due at 5 pm exactly. In order to meet that deadline and
correct any errors that the system may detect after submission, OSP
needs to have an approved budget and completed routing sheet, along
with your complete proposal, including the project narrative and all
appendices ready for submission by 12 noon the day prior to the due date. This
means that we will need to have your proposal at least five days
before the actual submission for routing.
As always, in order to route the
proposal we need the following:
- Completed routing sheet
signed by PI and Dept. Chair/Center Director
- Proposal Abstract/Summary
- Budget
- Budget Narrative
Completion of the routing sheet
and budget review typically takes 3-5 days once it reaches OSP. OSP cannot submit proposals via Grants.gov that do not meet these
internal deadlines.
