Grants.gov has become "one stop shopping" for ALL federal funding. Proposals must be submitted electronically, using a Grants.gov application. This "form" is an interactive PDF file; to use it, you type information into fields and also attach files.
Applications and guidelines differ by funding agency and opportunity, so you need to know the Funding Opportunity Number (FON) or Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) number for the specific grant you're applying for, to be sure you get the right application.
Search for grant applications here. Once you have found the one you want, download it to your computer and work on it there. To submit, you must upload the application forms and all attachments as one file. Please contact the SRO if you need help!
To use the Grants.gov application, you must have a compatible version of Adobe Reader installed on your computer.
