As
a reminder, Grants.gov PDF applications will be officially retired from use on
December 31st and Workspace will become your
standard Grants.gov application method. As previously instructed,
if you plan to apply for federal funding through Grants.gov, you will need to
register and do so in Workspace. Please refer to the attached reference to
assist you in registering and using Workspace.
In
addition, Grants.gov provides extensive resources to assist you in this
transition:
·
There’s
an online help manual
covering how-to instructions and the finer details of the system – including a
useful search feature.
·
There’s
a large compilation of Applicant Training Resources and Videos
available on Grants.gov beginning with Becoming a Workspace Wizard.
·
Finally,
agencies such as EPA are hosting Grants.gov-led webinar sessions – even if you
don’t apply for EPA funding, the content may assist you in your preparing an
application in Workspace. Information and registration can be found here.
As
a reminder, when preparing your National Institute of Health (NIH) and National
Science Foundation (NSF) grant proposals, please CONTINUE to do so using NIH ASSIST and NSF FASTLANE as the preferred
method for those agencies.
And,
as always, please don’t hesitate to contact OSPA if you have questions, or need
assistance.
Thank
you,
Brenda
