Introduction to PAMS
The Portfolio Analysis and Management System (PAMS) is the premiere online solution to financial awards 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 financial awards. 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 information stays protected.
This document is a comprehensive guide to PAMS for financial award applicants. Included are step-by-step directions on how to register, apply for financial awards, track your proposals, and take action on any proposal- or financial award-related tasks assigned to you. The user guide begins with a Getting Started section, which provides a high-level overview of the proposal process, directions on how to log in and navigate through PAMS, and what you can expect to see in PAMS.
