Grants.gov: A Guided Tour
ORA-1215/ORA-1216

Class Content

Grants.gov allows electronic access to more than 1,000 grant programs offered by all Federal grant-making agencies. Grants.gov replaces paper applications with electronic forms and requires electronic submission of all applications. It is the central portal for grant announcements and submissions. New software must be downloaded to complete Grants.gov application packages. These packages can become very large, so Stanford has built an electronic "drop-box" called eSubmit for electronic research proposals. This class gives an overview of both Grants.gov and eSubmit.
