4. How are we going to do this?
- Penns long term solution:
-
- System to System submission from PennERA to Grants.gov
-
-
- Investigators create their proposals and route them for internal approval in Proposal Development module
-
-
-
- Resulting Data Set is sent to Grants.gov via XML data-stream
-
- Near Term mechanism for electronic submission
-
- Grants.gov PureEdge e-forms solution
5. 6. 7. Using PureEdge and Grants.gov Whats the Basic Process?
- PI enters Grants.gov
-
- Selects Getting Started
-
-
- Selects grant researcher
-
-
- Identifies Funding opportunity
-
- Downloads required software
-
-
- PureEdge Viewer
-
-
- Downloads application package
- PI must have NIH Commons account
- PI must have PDF creation software
8. Pure Edge & Grants.govBasic Process (cont.)
- PI completes the application within PureEdge viewer
- Transmittal and hard copies are processed through the School and delivered to ORS
- Electronic copy sent to ORS
- ORS will review and submit to Grants.gov
9. Then
- Application is available for agency validation
-
- Email sent to PI and ORS when received
- PI and ORS verifies application in NIH Commons within TWO days of receipt of email.
-
- PI and ORS can see validation errors and warnings
-
-
- Errors must be fixed
-
-
-
- Application must be resubmitted prior to deadline
-
10. What Does that Mean??
- Applications are to be submitted to Grants.govDAYSahead of the deadline
11. Time is of the Essence
- New Forms New Definitions
- New process Unforeseen problems
- PIs should request NIH Commons account at least two weeks prior to submission
- Currently there is no native Macintosh client for PureEdge software
-
- Macintosh users need Windows emulation program and special instructions or work entirely on-line using a Citrix server solution with Grants.gov
-
- Grants.gov promises a real Mac solution for PureEdge sometime in 2006
- Subcontracts also required electronically
12. Getting Started
