April 27, 2009: High Submission Volume

There are 29 Grant Opportunities closing on Monday, April 27, 2009, including a large Recovery Act opportunity for NIH that is expected to receive an unprecedented number of applications. The submissions for these opportunities have already begun and will continue to grow as we move towards April 27. The following agencies have closings on this date; ACF, AMS, CDC, CSREE, DOE, EPA, HRSA, NIH and USAID.

Please remember to click save and submit only one time to begin the submission process. Multiple clicks on Save and Submit will not help. This will only cause an additional resource drain on the system.

After receiving your confirmation page and/or submission receipt email, it may take up to 48 hours for Grants.gov to process your application, send the submission validation email and make the application available to the grantor agency. Please be patient and allow your submissions to work through the system.

The peak hours for submission are 2:00 – 6:00 PM EDT. If you can submit outside this timeframe that will increase the speed at which you can submit.

If you need assistance please call the Grants.gov Contact Center 1-800-518-4726. Right now the wait time for your call is 31 seconds.
