Grants.gov Work-Arounds

• PROJECT DIRECTOR/PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATOR CONTACT INFORMATION (Pulled from R&R Key person) - Position/Title is pulled from “Primary Work Location” from M-Pathways Human Resource Management System.
  • Work around - Change this on the RESEARCH & RELATED Senior/Key Person (with Expanded) Profile page.
• Areas affected by project and Congressional district on the face page are blank.
  • Not automatically filled in because different for Dearborn & Flint.
• Required documents/fields (marked with a red asterisk*)
  • Requiring certain docs are uploaded before moving on to the next page. Not always possible if filling out the application in stages/pieces. E.g., required to upload a project summary. At the PAF stage, it is often draft.)
  • Workaround - Remember you can use the Forms menu list to skip between pages.
  • Tip If you have a partially completed page, use the Forms menu move to the next section. It will save a partially completed page.
  • Warning If you try to click Save or Continue on a partially completed page, you will receive a warning.
• Entering data multiple budget years
  • When entering budgets, names do not carry over from the Yr 1 budget sheet.
  • Budget pages not prefilled after first one
  • Cognizant Federal Agency information only automatically entered in Yr 1.
    • Had to enter it separately each year
      • Cannot be prefilled because when we create the SF424 we do not know how many budget periods.
