Grants.gov
(With thanks to the Research Offices of UW-Madison and Union College, who gave permission to make use of their
presentation materials)
What is Grants.gov?
• Federal government’s solution for a "one stop shop" for finding and applying for funding (26 agencies).
• Will replace federal agency-specific proposal submission systems.
• NSF will still have Fastlane, NIH will still have eRA Commons, etc. for post-submission functions.
Will My Federal Funding Agency use Grants.gov?
• Agencies slow to shift.
• OMB tied the agencies’ federal appropriations to their use of Grants.gov.

Application Instructions
Read both the regular RFP guidelines and these. Mismatches have been found between these instructions and the form instructions.
Note different instructions for different agencies
Grants.gov-speak
• FOA (Funding Opportunity Announcement) = RFP/RFA (Request for Proposals or Applications.
• Component = a form.• Application package = all components needed for
a particular FOA. • SF424 (R&R) (Standard Form 424 (Research &
Related)) = The first form – info on this form populates other forms.
• E-Business POC (Point of Contact) and AOR (Authorized Organizational Representative) = ORSP.
Application Package Concept
Application package (PureEdge file) is like a manila file folder with the label already printed and a group of mandatory, blank, forms inside.
Application Package (PureEdge file)

Macintosh Users Warning
• PureEdge does not work on a Mac
• You can use “Citrix” running remotely with your Mac as a terminal. Others have encountered many problems.
• If you decide to use a Mac we need EVEN MORE lead time as you would be our guinea pig.
Problems OTHERS Have Had
• When saving, file does not overwrite and generates new file each time
• Grants.gov accepts package (and you think you are done) but agency does not
• Mac instructions actually do not work• Online system is so overloaded near a
deadline that submission is significantly delayed
• And more
