I rather think that's going to have to happen, at least for the forseeable future. Grants.gov is only a portal passing the application on to the appropriate agency as an XML data stream. The agency's system will "assemble" the proposal. So, only after it's been received by the agency can an investigator view the proposal and validate is as "looking" like the proposal that was intended. NIH Commons will still be used as the back end to process NIH proposals and FastLane will be used as the back end at NSF. Presumably, the other agencies have similar back end systems. Of course, if Grants.gov could provide a window enabling the applicant to view the assembled proposal as received by the agency, that would be great!...Bill Bill Caskey, PhD Director, Research & Grants Administration Children's Mercy Hospital 2401 Gillham Road Kansas City, MO 64108 Ph:(816) 234-3874 Fx:(816) 855-1982 E-mail: xxxxxx@cmh.edu <mailto:xxxxxx@cmh.edu> This communication is intended only for the use of the addressee.

This is a great opportunity to be heard by an organization that might be able to help us with Grants.gov implementation. I have collected information about Grants.gov issues from the FDP website and NCURA (and I have scoured resadm-l archives). Nevertheless, I would like to obtain more data from you, the people who most often work with Grants.gov and ponder its usefulness or lack thereof. Do any of you have a summary list of Grants.gov problems available? I have already noted in my written materials for GAO that there are issues with bandwidth, difficulties with the SF424 R&R, CCR registration problems, and communication problems between federal agencies and Grants.gov on what is needed to move forward on the project. What else should I communicate? GAO seems particularly interested in the following problems (not exclusively focused on Grants.gov): the proliferation of agency electronic systems, system-to-system interfaces with Grants.gov, and lack of coordination among federal agencies re information to be submitted. Please forward comments and concerns to me prior to November 11th so I can include them in the discussion with GAO. Thanks in advance for your help! Rochelle R.
