Grants.gov Migration and Outage Impacts Proposal Submissions 9/23/2022-9/29/2022

Grants.gov is migrating to the cloud and will be offline from Friday, September 23, 2022 through Thursday, September 29, 2022. No proposal submissions through Cayuse or directly to Grants.gov will be possible during the downtime.

Grants.gov is working with various agencies to adjust submission deadlines to minimize the disruption; however, investigators intending to submit an application to an opportunity with a deadline within this timeframe should submit the proposal early or request an extension of the deadline from the funding agency.

To meet OSPA’s 3-day proposal deadline, proposals must be received by the Research Administrator no later than Monday, September 19 for funding opportunities with deadlines during this downtime.

Please contact your College Grant Officer (CGO) or OSPA Research Administrator for assistance with obtaining an extension from the sponsor, if possible, and for answers to your questions about proposal submissions.
