DO NOT REPLY TO THE GROUP. Please send replies to me, xxxxxx@umich.edu
Hi All,
I am working on a report to document problems with Grants.gov. I am
interested in learning from anyone about problems with G.g itself --
finding, downloading, filling out, and submitting forms. It is
getting late to complain about PureEdge, but everything about Adobe
is fair game. Assume every compliant is valid, from cannot print the
full application to hating not being able to double click on a form
to open, to bigger conceptual issues about the whole forms and down
load process. I am limiting myself, however, only to the forms
process, not system to system. Others will deal with that.
I also want to know problems you all have had with agencies that
require additional information, or, as noted recently about NAS,
which are not using Grants.gov. or not using it enough. Who wants
extra paper copies, who wants extra sign offs, who makes life more
difficult?
This is the time to really speak out about problems you have had. In
the past I have sent along some problems, but now I want to make a
complete list. I will not mention any names so you will be safe with
your sponsors and the G.g staff.
DO NOT SEND REPLY TO THE GROUP. Please send directly to me. I will
later post my findings here, as well as pass them along to the
"powers that be." Now is the time to speak out. I need your
thoughts by Thursday morning. Sorry for the short turn around, but
the things that trouble you should flow freely. Bullet points or
sentences or paragraphs, all are welcome.
Thanks much.
Bob
