About Grants.gov
As part of the President’s E-Government initiative,
the federal government developed Grants.gov,
a single Web site for organizations to electronically find
and apply for competitive grant opportunities from all 26
of the federal grant-making agencies.
In the 2008 grant cycle, the Institute
will require all applicants to apply online through Grants.gov.
Applicants who are unable to use Grants.gov should contact
an IMLS program officer.
Please note that the entire completed application
must be either online through Grants.gov - the Institute will
not accept mailed paper attachments.
For more information on the process of applying
through Grants.gov, visit www.grants.gov/GetStarted.
Grants.gov Registration
All applicants must register with Grants.gov
prior to submitting their application. The multi-step registration
process generally cannot be completed in a single day. Applicants
that are not already registered should allow at least two
weeks to complete this one-time process. DO NOT WAIT UNTIL
THE DAY OF THE APPLICATION DEADLINE TO REGISTER.
Step-by-step instructions for registering are
available at www.grants.gov/GetStarted.
In addition, IMLS has created an easy-to-follow checklist
for registering. If you have problems registering, call
the Grants.gov help desk at 1-800-518-4726; e-mail support@grants.gov;
or consult the information posted on the Grants.gov Web site
at www.grants.gov/CustomerSupport.
The Grants.gov Customer Service hours are 7:00 am to 9:00
pm Eastern Time, Monday to Friday.
You do not need to complete the registration
process to download the application package and begin to prepare
your material (see below). However, you will need your Grants.gov
UserID and password that you obtain during the registration
process to submit your application when it’s complete.
