Overview

Grants.gov is a central storehouse for information on over 1,000 grant programs and provides access to approximately $400 billion in annual awards. Federal grant-making agencies have partnered with Grants.gov creating a single and secure Internet source for all Federal grants. The 26 Federal agencies that award grants and cooperative agreements are actively implementing grants.gov through interagency work groups and are developing common data elements, electronic processes and uniform administrative rules across agencies. When preparing a submission, be sure to read your solicitation carefully to determine if submission through Grants.gov is required.

To compliment the new grants.gov submission initiative, the University of Illinois has developed and is rolling out the UI eRA system for the administration of sponsored projects and the submission of electronic proposals. For more information visit the UI eRA web site.
