Grants.gov Accepts Two Submission Types

• Through PureEdge software – an application format provided by Grants.gov

or• System-to-System (S2S) transmission of electronic

documents – EGMS will have this capability

S2S is the preferred method

EGMS will be the preferred method at UMN

Status of EGMS S2S

• Working to enable the ability to prepare new R01 applications to NIH for the February 2007 deadline

• Expect to have EGMS ready in December 2006 so that you can start preparing your applications in EGMS

• Specific training classes on using EGMS to prepare NIH R01 applications will start in November, 2006

…..Status of EGMS S2S

• Email help@egms.umn.edu if you want this training– Put EGMS S2S training in the subject line

• Focus will be on showing how to use EGMS – not PureEdge – – Standard PureEdge training sessions will continue

Process of Submission to SPA for EGMS S2S applications

• Complete your proposal forms in EGMS

• Upload the PDF attachments not generated by EGMS

• When everything is ready, – i.e. entire proposal - forms and all the attachments – are in EGMS– Email SPA – proposal@umn.edu

• Subject line of email– PRF #, PI name, and EGMS #• No attachments to email, since SPA GA can access the entire

proposal and PRF in EGMS
