Submitting Your Grant Proposal Electronically

If your sponsor allows you to submit your grant proposal electronically, you still need to get prior internal approvals before you submit.  Most sponsors that allow electronic grant proposal submissions permit the PI or PD to upload their grant proposal but require that an authorized institutional official electronically submit and/or sign the grant proposal before it is "officially submitted".  If you plan to submit a grant proposal electronically, please contact Cynthia Hardin 3-5 days before the deadline.

Grants.gov

Grants.gov is a federal Web site that lists most federal funding opportunities. As federal agencies transition to electronic submission from traditional paper submission, application packages can be downloaded from Grants.gov as well as submitted through that Web site. You must first download and install PureEdge Viewer, a free software available for Windows platforms through Grants.gov, in order to access, complete and submit grant applications. It is anticipated that all federal agencies will transition to electronic submission over the next 18-24 months. Some agencies, such as the NIH, have already begun this transition. Please check the funding announcement for specific information on submission requirements.

UPDATE:  Grants.gov will be transitioning from PureEdge Viewer to Adobe Reader.  For more information, please see the our Reader Info page

ETSU as an institution is registered with Grants.gov. Individuals do NOT register with Grants.gov to submit grant proposals.
