1 Introduction
The Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Science (SC) issues many announcements each year to solicit research proposals from colleges and universities, non-profit and for-profit research organizations, DOE’s national laboratories, small businesses, and other federal research organizations.
...
The purpose of this document is to provide step-by-step instructions for users to follow to associate themselves to a Grants.gov proposal.
2 Prerequisites
Before associating yourself to the Grants.gov proposal, the following criteria must be met:
- The user has an external PAMS account.
- The user submitted a proposal through Grants.gov to a DOE SC Funding Opportunity Announcement.
- The user must be the Principal Investigator (PI), SRO/BO/AO (Sponsored Research Office/Business Officer/Administrative Officer), or Other (Point of Contact) on the proposal, as indicated on the SF-424 (R&R) Cover Page.
- The user has received a Receipt of Proposal email.
3 Accessing Previously Submitted Grants.gov Proposals
After you have submitted your proposal to an open FOA in Grants.gov, you can access the proposal in PAMS.
...
- Phone: 800-518-4726
- Email: support@grants.gov.
Once a proposal is transmitted from Grants.gov to PAMS, a Grants Analyst (GA) begins processing the proposal. A PM is assigned to the proposal, and PAMS sends a Receipt of Proposal email notification to the PI and the SRO/AO/BO (Figure 1).
Use the following steps to locate a Grants.gov proposal submission.
