Grants.gov

Grants.gov is a centralized portal used by the majority of federal agencies for (a) finding government funding, and (b) submitting and tracking government grant proposals. Proposals to federal agencies have all transitioned to electronic submission.

Grants.gov, as a search engine, is a comprehensive source for locating and learning more about federal funding opportunities. It permits the execution of basic or advanced searches by agency, grant category or keyword. Automatic updates are also available by signing on for email alerts.

Grants.gov, for proposal preparation and electronic submission, allows for system-to-system transmission of grant proposals. The GSP is registered to officially submit proposals electronically on behalf of FDU.
