======================================
THE ISSUE DESCRIBED BELOW HAS NOW BEEN RESOLVED:
Grants.Gov is offering limited functionality at this time related to a database server issue we experienced this morning. The server went offline at approximately 8am, 3/16/09, and will not be returned to service until it has been quality checked by the Grants.Gov System Integrator. The functional areas affected by this database server issue include Grant Search, Grant Application Download, and Grant Application Submission. There may also be other functions affected by this issue.

The Grants.Gov Program Management Office will keep our user community informed by updating this blog as information on system status becomes available.

We do not know the specific time that full functionality will be restored. Currently we expect Grants.Gov to be restored by Monday evening, 3/16/09.
