Transition to Adobe System Successfully Completed
March 3, 2009
Through the combined efforts of Grants.gov and the 26 federal grant-making agencies, the transition to Adobe has been successfully completed. This was a major effort which required the coordination of resources and extensive planning to migrate all funding opportunities from the PureEdge System to the Adobe System.
All grantor agencies are now posting and accepting Adobe applications ONLY, PureEdge applications are no longer in use. All applicants wishing to submit a grant application package are required to use the Grants.gov compatible version of Adobe software to do so. Additional information and free software downloads are available on the Download Software page.
Note: The Applicant System-to-System 2006 Endpoint has been terminated. Applicant System-to-System users are to access the system using the 2007 Applicant System-to-System Endpoint:https://ws07.grants.gov:446/app-s2s-server/services/

Potential Erroneous Email Notifications
January 9, 2009
Grants.gov has received notice that some applicants have received conflicting e-mail notifications after a submission. The following scenario has manifested itself more than once;
- Applicant receives the Grants.gov Submission Receipt e-mail
- The applicant then receives a Grants.gov Rejection Notice for application with a list of errors
- This is followed by a Grants.gov Submission Validation Receipt for application e-mail
Applicants are receiving the third validation e-mail without correcting any errors listed in the second Rejection Notice e-mail. Because the Grants.gov system is automatically re-processing the applications, those without errors are being successfully validated, hence the applicant receiving the third Validation Receipt e-mail.
The applications that are re-processed and successfully received into the Grants.gov system are being forwarded to the agencies for retrieval. If the above occurs with your application, we are asking that you engage the Grants.gov Contact Center, secure a case number, follow-up to ensure your application has been received.
The cause of this issue is undetermined at the moment. We are currently researching this issue. We will provide you with more information once we determine the root cause.
