Grants.gov System Down Friday October 15, 2010

Grants.gov experienced a hardware failure during the night that has resulted in the entire system being down. Vendor technicians have been on site since before 6 am to diagnose and repair the failure. Additional time will be required to restore the database and restart the system. We expect that Grants.gov will be down for most of today, October 15. We plan to provide a further update no later than 11 am ET this morning. We will work with the agencies throughout the day to minimize the impact of this outage and to identify further guidance that application submitters may require. For now, please do not attempt to submit applications or otherwise access the Grants.gov web site until further notice. Our apologies for any inconvenience.
