Electronic Submission
Grants.gov is the electronic submission system utilized by all federal agencies. Proposals are submitted to Grants.gov using either InfoEd or Adobe forms. OHSU uses InfoEd for most NIH, CDC or AHRQ proposals that require electronic submission. Eventually, all proposals which can be submitted to Grants.gov will be submitted using InfoEd.
The NIH's intends to transition 100% of its paper grant applications to electronic submission. Please note that once a grant program has made the transition, paper applications will no longer be accepted. Consequently, it is important to familiarize yourself with the NIH's electronic submission process. The NIH's Overview of Electronic Submission via Grants.gov and Applying Electronically web pages are both helpful resources.
