Grants.gov is the central web-based
portal created by the government under the Egrants initiative. Grants.gov
replaces paper applications with electronic forms and requires electronic
submission of all applications.
Currently, Grants.gov offers two main functions:
FIND funding opportunity
announcements (FOA) by searching all federal announcements
APPLY for assistance by
submitting your application
Dartmouth College is a registered institution with Grants.gov and with the
Central Contractor Registry (CCR). Faculty and staff do not need to
register with Grants.gov or CCR to use the system.
Faculty do not submit their applications, the Office of
Sponsored Projects (OSP) has officials who are authorized to submit proposals
on behalf of the Institution through Grants.gov .
How to Get Started
- PLEASE PLAN AHEAD: Keep in mind, in order to
guarantee timely submission of your application, OSP requires a minimum
of 5 working days to review and submit your proposal through
Grants.gov.
- GET TRAINED! OSP offers in-house instructional
sessions for preparing NIH e-submission application packages through
Grants.gov. Individual or group classes are available. Peter Vinton has been conducting Grants.gov
training at both Dartmouth College and DHMC for the past year. Peter's
one-on-one training sessions can also be tailored to meet individual department
needs. As other federal agencies make their transition to the electronic
submission standard, OSP will develop additional training reflecting
requirements for those specific agencies. Please contact Peter to schedule a training session.
- SET UP YOUR COMPUTER: Download and
install the necessary software before you actually need it.

Agency Specific Grants.gov Information
While Grants.gov provides a common
portal to apply for federal assistance, agencies may have specific guidelines
and forms adapted to their particular needs. Once you have identified your
funding source, please consult the agency specific Grants.gov instructions in
our AGENCY
LISTING (i.e., NIH, NSF, etc.). We have also included each
implementation schedule when available.
OSP has developed an At-a-Glance
Matrix, providing a quick overview of components for each sponsor's
application package.
