Grants.gov AT07 Planned Maintenance Period

All:

In our continuing effort to enhance Grants.gov, we will be upgrading to a more robust testing and training environment at the beginning of May. By augmenting our hardware, we will be able to provide users with a dedicated and stable environment that mirrors our current production system and is accessible to all for testing and training.

The existing AT07 environment will be down from Saturday, May 1, 2010, 12:00 AM ET to Sunday, May 2, 2010, 11:59 PM ET. The new environment will be live beginning 12:01 AM ET, May 3, 2010.

As a precaution, the Grants.gov Production system will be down for a brief period - on Saturday, May 1, 2010 from 12:00 AM ET to 8:00 AM ET.

Efforts to access or connect to AT07 or Production during the specified maintenance periods will be unsuccessful. Applicants will be unable to submit applications during the Production maintenance period. The Grants.gov Call Center has been advised of the outage periods.

All existing user certificates and data in AT07 will be migrated to the new environment. Users will be able resume normal testing and interaction with AT07. No changes to URL or IP address will be necessary on the user end as we will maintain the same URL and IP address.

We apologize for any inconvenience.

Thank you,
Ed
