Grants.gov

Grants.gov is a website developed by the federal government to be the single portal for submitting all grant applications to the 26 federal grant-making agencies. Grants.gov lists all federal grant opportunities and provides a mechanism for applying for those opportunities. A grant application MUST be submitted through Grants.gov when the federal agency's program guidelines REQUIRE that the application be submitted through Grants.gov. Applications sent to Grants.gov are then forwarded to the respective agencies.

Grants.gov is in the process of replacing PureEdge Viewer application packages with Adobe Forms. The transition will be made in phases and began in July 2007. The goal is to have all application packages use the Adobe platform. Applicants will need Adobe Reader v8.1.2 to use the new Adobe Forms. Other Adobe Reader versions are not supported. For more news and transition information, see the Grants.gov Deployment Update.
