Although Sponsored Programs has been drilling the conversion to Grants.gov into everyone’s collective psyche, we still receive the occasional phone call regarding the timeline for conversion to electronic submission.

The following is a handy link that details the timeline for electronic submission of NIH proposals to Grants.gov. http://era.nih.gov/ElectronicReceipt/files/Electronic_receipt_timeline_Ext_09-12-2005.pdf . Other agencies requirements for submission to Grants.gov will be listed in the Funding Opportunity Announcements (FOA).

Please check out the updated (as of 6/9/06) SPA Facts Sheet on our website. It is chockfull of useful information you will need to include in your Grants.gov submission (DUNS, congressional district, etc.). Further updates to the website are in progress.
