Alert-Grant.Gov-Back on Line February 10, 2010

The major upgrade to the Grants.gov system (referred to as the “boost”) was completed and the system put back into production on 12:01 AM ET on February 10, 2010. The Grants.gov system is available for all users.

The upgrade increased the capacity of Grants.gov, along with the system’s reliability and its ability to sustain continuous high volume activity.

The PMO worked closely with agencies that previously posted closing deadlines during the outage period to minimize any impact on the agencies or their applicants. Agencies with previously posted closing deadlines on February 6 – 9, 2010 took appropriate steps to ensure applicants are able to apply for these posted opportunities. Please note the outage period, and any agency instructions for particular grant opportunities, and plan accordingly when applying for grants in the early February time period.

We apologize for any inconvenience this outage period may cause.

Regards,
Grants.gov PMO
