Grants.gov PureEdge Hands-on Training Offered

Sponsored Program Services is offering hands-on training for the PureEdge grant application tool. PureEdge is currently the software application package required by Grants.gov for submission of proposals to an increasing number of federal agencies. Sessions will be held in G25 Stimson from 9:30 to 11:30AM on various dates. Space is limited and priority will be given to those with upcoming submission deadlines. Registration is required at http://www.research.cornell.edu/Registrations/Workshops/Grants.gov/registration.cfm. Please make sure to select the date you would like to attend from the pull down list.

This session will cover:

• a brief overview of grants.gov
• how to find solicitations
• the PureEdge forms
• campus processes, support & recommendations
• agency specific guidance

Hands-on components will demonstrate finding an application package on the grants.gov web site, navigation and data entry in the PureEdge tool and using the electronic dropbox for transferring large files across campus.

The presentation is targeted at investigators, their administrative support staff, research administrators, and others who will participate in proposal preparation to federal agencies via grants.gov early in 2007. Check your proposal guidelines to determine if your program will be affected.
