Sponsored Program Services is offering hands-on training for the PureEdge grant application tool. Currently, PureEdge is the software application package required by Grants.gov for submission of proposals to an increasing number of federal agencies. Training sessions will be held in G25 Stimson from 9:30 to 11:30 a.m.on June 14, 2007. Additional sessions will be announced in the future. Space is limited and priority will be given to those with upcoming submission deadlines.

Hands-on Training for the PureEdge Grant Application Tool

This session will cover:

• A brief overview of Grants.gov
• How to find solicitations
• PureEdge forms
• The campus processes, support, and 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 in 2007. Check your proposal guidelines to determine if your program will be affected.
