APPLICANT SYSTEM-TO-SYSTEM

Grants.gov applicant System-to-System provides applicants (with a high volume of application submissions) a web services interface for automated submission of completed grant applications and related services. The system allows applicants who submit grant applications frequently, to save time and resources by eliminating the need to reenter repetitious data into multiple individual application forms and therefore streamlines the application submission process. The system is designed for secure e-business transaction processing and provides a platform independent messaging service that follows the Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) with attachments specification.

Applicant System-to-System Interface provides:

  • Platform Independent Messaging Service
  • Security (Secure Socket Layer (SSL) and mutual authentication)
  • Opportunity Schemas and Instructions
  • Automated Grant Application Submission
  • Validation (XML vs. Schema Check)
  • Applicant Status Tracking

*Please Note: Grants.gov does NOT provide certificates necessary to communicate with the Grants.gov system, software to populate the grant application XML, agency specific validation or web services to directly communicate with backend agencies.

Notice: Guidelines to follow during application submission

- Do not use “special characters” in any attachment file name (example: %, /, #, -, &, *).

- Do not use spaces in the file name, for word separation use underscore (example: my_Attached_File.pdf).

- Do not use file attachment names longer than 50 characters as it will cause problems processing packages.

* Please note that if these guidelines are not followed, your application may be rejected.
