Grants.gov is Live and Operational

Grants.gov was restored and operational at approximately 2:45 AM ET. All functionality (application submission, find opportunities, registration, and grantor administration) has been tested and is working.

For applicants with submissions due October 15 and October 16, we recommend the following:

1. On your application package and instructions, is an agency point of contact or a program contact. You may contact this individual for guidance on deadlines.

2. Call our Grants.gov Contact Center (1-800-518-4726) in order to find out if any guidance has been provided for your funding opportunity. Deadlines and extensions are decisions that are made by the individual federal agency and not by Grants.gov. Grants.gov has taken extra measures to reach out to those agencies with closings that occurred on 10/15 and 10/16. Many of those agencies have provided us with guidance to provide to our Contact Center.

We apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your patience during this time.

System Status Update

Grants.gov is operational at this time.

Additional information will be forthcoming...

System Status Update

Grants.gov is in process of conducting rigorous system testing this evening. We anticipate the system to be fully operational at approximately midnight ET tonight. We will post a formal communication once the system is completely up and running.

Thanks again for your patience.
