Grants.gov Information for PIs

To apply and submit a grant application through grants.gov, find and download the application and instructions at http://www.grants.gov/applicants/apply_for_grants.jsp. You will need the CFDA Number or the Funding Opportunity Number (from grants.gov) to search. You do not need a login or password on grants.gov to do this. NSU has already completed all of the necessary steps to submit through grants.gov.

You must install PureEdge Viewer (one time only) in order to see the application. It works like Adobe Acrobat. Get PureEdge Viewer.

Once you have the application package, read and follow all instructions. The PI is responsible for the Narrative, Budget (print form and fill in), Budget Narrative, Attachments, and any other supporting documentation. All files other than the Budget need to be written in Microsoft Word and then saved to PDF form for submission.

The Research & Sponsored Programs Office will fill out all forms and assurances and upload all information provided by the PI into the final appliciation and submit the application. As grants.gov is still in the development stage, this process can be lengthy. Please allow several days for submission along with the standard routing time.
