Grants.gov June 27 - 28 Build 2009-03

The next system build is scheduled to occur June 27 – 28. The system will be unavailable during this time. We will distribute the detailed build communication next week once the build has been tested and officially authorized for deployment into production.

Benefits of June Build 2009-03

Streamlined Applicant Registration
– New applicant registrant username and password portion of the Grants.gov profile have been streamlined. Originally there were three screens to complete the process, there will now be two.

Improved Email Notification (Electronic Business Point of Contact (E-Biz POC) Email)
– Email notification sent to the Grants.gov usage authorizing official within your organization (E-Biz POC) will now contain the contact information of the AOR so the E-Biz POC will know immediately who they are considering for approval.

Immediate Status Updates (Authorized Organization Representative (AOR) Status)
– Applicants will immediately be able to see their AOR status upon login to the Applicant Center.

Clearer Messaging (Track My Application)
– The track my application page will have added functionality and return clearer messages along with the status of the Grants.gov tracking number.
