Re: Question about GrantSlam? Jon Hart 09 Dec 2005 14:42 EST

 I had to add my 2 cents on this.
About 50% of our faculty use MACs, and the PureEdge solution has them ready
to take the grants.gov offices by storm (und drang).  For this reason (only)
we are going to have to have a solution apart from the PureEdge software,
which offers a MAC "fix" that is basically unworkable.  We purchased
InfoEd's Proposal Development module some time ago (we use other modules of
theirs) which is a web-based solution that will accept any platform that can
mount a browser, which we hope will work for everyone until grants.gov gets
their act in order -- if they ever do.  Grants.gov has forced those of us
with substantial MAC communities to purchase third-party software, whether
InfoEd, GrantSlam (historically a good product, in my opinion), or other
vendors' programs.  I think it unconscionable that our government has put us
in this position to request federal assistance for important research, but
there you are (vent).

Joni.
