Applying for grants is an intricate process which requires multiple steps and various details. Grant Users typically spend significant time coordinating and collaborating information throughout the application process. This includes tracking the status of the grant in the pre-application and application phases, documenting board approvals, and many deadline dates within the grant application process. Grant Users can manage the process of applying for a specific opportunity via the Grant Application Status Folder (GTAPSF) or Grant Application (GTAP) transaction, based on user authorization. Users can go directly to the Grant Application, skipping the previous Grant Notification and Response steps in the grant lifecycle. The GTAP transaction updates the GTAPSF table.
The system will issue an error if you attempt to update fields directly on the Application Status Folder if a revision transaction is in Draft or Pending status. This edit prevents users from updating data on the table which will subsequently be overridden once the revision transaction is submitted to Final. The exception to this rule applies to the Completion Date, Approver Name, and Comments fields, which may be edited even if a Grant Application Revision transaction has been created for the Grant ID.
The Grant Application Status Folder (GTAPSF) contains the following tabs:
The "Create Grant Application" topic contains instructions on creating a Grant Application using the Grant Application Status Folder (GTAPSF).
