1.3 Is this a Grants.gov funding opportunity?
Brief directions are included below. For more information, see Grants.gov from eRPM (includes full process instructions and illustrations of pages & steps.)
Select "Yes"
If the Funding Opportunity/Solicitation is available through Grants.gov, and you are planning on using the eResearch system to system (S2S) submission method, select "Yes" to this question to link the guidelines, forms and submission instructions to the proposal package.
- You MUST select this option to generate the Grants.gov forms from the eResearch Proposal Management system for supported opportunities (FOAs).
- You will determine if your FOA is supported (all required forms are supported) when you select your FOA and see the list of forms on the Sponsor page.
- Using the information from the Opportunity ID, some of the information in the Proposal Package, such as Sponsor Information, will be prefilled out for you in the PAF.
Select "No"
If you select "No", you will not have the option to pull the funding opportunity from Grants.gov, and you will be required to enter additional information about the proposal such as Sponsor Information later in the PAF.
"No" should also be selected if the opportunity is available in Grants.gov but you are planning on using Grants.gov workspace as the submission method.
delete Important Information about PAF & Grants.gov Forms
You may find it beneficial to complete the PAF first because you will have the opportunity to copy information from the PAF into the Grants.gov forms.
Although the Grants.gov forms can be generated from the PAF, you will complete the PAF & Grants.gov forms separately. You may choose to complete these both at the same time or to complete the Grants.gov forms after the PAF.
The PAF & Grants.gov forms are not dynamically linked.
- Any changes made to the PAF will not be automatically made in the Grants.gov forms.
- If you want to update the Grants.gov forms with changes made on the PAF, you will need to Copy Info from the PAF to the Grants.gov forms again. Only the PAF fields will be updated/overwritten and the other information in the Grants.gov forms that is not linked to the PAF will not be changed.
- Similarly, any changes you make in the Grants.gov forms will not be made in the PAF.
