Why is NIH embracing electronic submission and what are the benefits of integrating with Grants.govs centralized website?
The impetus behind this change is the Federal Financial Assistance Management Improvement Act of 1999 (Public Law 106-107) and the President’s Management Agenda that is driving Federal Agencies to simplify Federal financial assistance application requirements and create a single website to apply for Federal assistance. Grants.gov (http://www.grants.gov/) has been designated by the Office of Management and Budget as the single access point for all grant programs offered by 26 Federal grant-making agencies. NIH’s Electronic Receipt program and integration with Grants.gov is designed to give applicants a convenient one-stop shop for finding and applying for grant applications. The goal is also to provide a consistent look and feel to grant applications across federal agencies.
