The Grants.gov website (www.grants.gov) was established as a Governmental resource named E-Grants Initiative to improve government services to the public. The website contains comprehensive information about all Federal Grant Programs. The site offers services to search and apply for Grant Opportunities. The opportunities on Grants.gov can be added to CGI Advantage in one of two ways:
You can manually enter the opportunities in Advantage using the Grant Opportunity Status Folder (GTOPSF) or the Grant Opportunity (GTOP) and Grant Application (GTAP) transactions.
Opportunities from Grants.gov can also be automatically loaded into the Available Opportunity Detail (GTAOD) and Available Opportunity Summary (GTAOS) pages via the Update Grant Opportunity batch job. You can then manually create Grant Opportunity transactions directly from these pages. This topic explains this approach.
