After you create a new grant application, it is stored as an “In-Process” application.
The main Grant Application Detail screen provides a single point of access to all the screens and tasks you need to complete while preparing your application.
You can start working on the grant application as soon as you create it. Refer to the instructions for Answering Grant Application Questions and Applying Authorized Sign-offs to continue.
In most cases, completing a grant application requires more than a single session for entry of detailed information, preparation of budget data, review and approval. More than one user may need to access the new grant application to enter and review information.
The Grant Application Detail screen is designed for easy management of all details. Return to the Grant Application Detail screen as often as needed to:
Answer and Review Grant Questions Answering
Grant Application Questions
Program Offices present questions on the application to evaluate Agency
eligibility for funding. You must provide answers for all questions
to complete the application process. Each section of questions
may contain “business rules” to verify that answers are answered correctly.
Generate Contract Documents Generating
Contract Documents
Required contract documents can be generated after the questions are complete. The
first version of the completed documents is available for viewing before
approval and submission. The final, approved version of the
document becomes the legal contract agreement.
Apply Approvals and Signatures Applying
Authorized Signoffs
After documents are reviewed, at least
one authorized sign-off from your Agency is required to verify and endorse
the application. For consortium applications, members of the
