 Before a month ago, I had asked a question on this listserv
about how different universities handle communication with their
respective PIs in regards to receiving Grants.Gov applications.
Several
university representatives responded and I thank everyone for their
responses. Several people also asked me if I could send them a report,
summarizing the responses and also what we were planning to do at UIC.
I
will send a detailed report as an attachment to everyone who requested
it.

 Here at UIC, our ultimate goal is a system-to-system interface.
Currently we are looking at several options but the one which I have
narrowed down to is a product called Webdisk. Webdisk is a WebDAV (Web
Distributed Authoring and Versioning) system developed by Blackboard
(http://www.blackboard.com <http://www.blackboard.com/> ). In simple
terms, a WebDAV system allows you store, manage, share and control
files
over the web in a secure environment. It acts as a central repository
for files/document storage.

 I don't see e-mail or a listserv as the best method for sending
grants.gov applications especially when the deadline is in the next
hour. We already had a few bad experiences and that prompted me to
look
into other options. The good thing is that our university already has
a
license for Blackboard and Webdisk. Also the interface of WebDisk is
similar to blackboard which our faculty uses extensively.

 I will put more details in the report.

 Thanks again for everyone's responses.
