Workshop Description

Grants.gov is a web-based system designed to allow participants to locate and apply for federal grants. Currently grants.gov is the single resource for over 1000 grant opportunities from all of the 26 Federal grant-making agencies. Within the next year, the National Institutes of Health is expected to implement a policy of mandatory electronic submission of grant applications through Grants.gov. OSP staff will cover how to prepare and submit proposals online, how to access active grant application packages, how to complete a grant application package, and how to check the status of an application. A demonstration of the Grants.gov system will be conducted. This workshop is ideal for faculty and staff who submit grant proposals to federal agencies. (2 hours)
