The table below shows the transition schedule for the Federal Agencies. 

You MUST have Adobe Acrobat Reader version 8.1.2  OR  9.0 installed on your computer in order to prepare an application package for submission through Grants.gov.  Earlier or older versions are NOT compatible. 

Explanatory Note:  The compatible version of Adobe Reader is necessary only for downloading and using the Grants.gov application package.  You do not need to have a specific version of Adobe Acrobat, i.e. Professional, to convert one of your own files to .PDF format.

Click the "Get Adobe Reader" button below to be directed to the Adobe download page.  You will need to know what version of Windows is on your computer. 
(How do I find out what version of Windows I have?)

If you experience problems while downloading this software, please contact the OIT HelpDesk at oithelp@etsu.edu or 9-4648.
