1. Registration: The University is registered. No individual
must register with Grants.gov. All that is required by UW
applicants is to use DUNS #161202122 on any application.
The FIND portion of Grants.gov does NOT require registration.
2. Finding Funding: Use the Find feature within Grants.gov to locate possible funding programs. Funding programs eligible for electronic submission via Grants.gov will have an application package available for download.
3. Filling out the Application Forms: PLAN AHEAD!!! START EARLY!!!
a. The application forms for all programs are in a standard
format but a format which differs slightly from the individual
agency forms you are accustomed to. PLAN AHEAD. You will need to download new software - PureEdge - to complete the new application
form packages. It will take more time to complete these
forms until you become more familiar with them and the software. Note to Macintosh Users: PureEdge functions only on a PC environment. Go to the Mac Users Page for information.
b. Read the application instructions! Each application package and each Agency's use of some fields is unique. A sample application cover page and some additional form pages are available HERE.
c. SF424 Budget forms require use of Person Months not Percent Effort. RSP has created a conversion tool for going back and forth. A SF 424 R&R budget preparation tool allowing you to print in the format that the SF 424 requires is now available. Work with your Dean's office to see if this will be a format they will review in advance of receiving your PureEdge forms.
d. Saving to the network: When saving a PureEdge file on a network (not your desktop, the process runs as expected on your desktop) you will be asked if you want to OVERWRITE the file. If you reply yes, the file isn't
actually overwritten. Additional versions of the file is created, named the first 6 letters of the original title followed by ~1 or ~2 (etc.). Be aware of this and be certain that you are working on and routing the appropriate version.
4. Submission of the Application:
a. You will need to route a WISPER record for the application (as with all University applications). The file can be attached electronically to your WISPER record.
b. Email confirmations are sent by Grants.gov and the receiving agency. The Validation Table describes these notifications.
5. Solutions in process: It is strongly
recommended that you do not entertain individual purchase
of a software solution as a tool to complete Grants.gov
applications. The University offers CAYUSE for this purpose.
