Introduction to PAMS

The Portfolio Analysis and Management System (PAMS) is the premiere online solution to grants management. Created in collaboration with the Department of Energy (DOE) - Office of Science, PAMS leverages proven methodologies to deliver effective management and communication of solicitations, proposals, and grants. The PAMS experience is role- and user-sensitive, meaning that each user will see only information and action options that are pertinent to him or her.  This customized approach minimizes errors in processing, simplifies the application process, and ensures sensitive data stays protected.

This online help module it taken from the PAMS User Guide for grant applicants. It includes step-by-step directions on how to register, how to apply for grants, how to track your proposals, and how to take action on any proposal/grant-related tasks assigned to you.  It includes directions on how to log in and navigate through PAMS; and what you can expect to see in PAMS.
