Beginning on August 1, 2005, the FAA Centers of Excellence
Program began using the Grants.gov system for receiving applications on COE
projects. Grants.gov is the official Federal government website where applicants
may find and apply for funding opportunities from all 26 Federal grant-making
agencies.
There are over 900 individual grant
programs from 26 Federal grant-making agencies that issue over $350 billion
in annual awards. Many of these programs operate independent, paper-based
processes, which makes finding and applying for Federal grants difficult.
Grants.gov centralizes information on grant opportunities and provides the
ability to apply for those grants in one convenient online location.
Effective October 1, 2005, all
applications for COE funding must be made through Grants.gov.
Establishing an account on Grants.gov is a one-time
multi-step process that should be started ten days prior to grant submission. A checklist to help your institution complete the
registration can be found on Grants.gov. In all likelihood, if your institution
receives grant funding from other U.S. government agencies, someone at your
institution is already registered with Grants.gov.
Please note that our application package will
continue to change with
the transition to Grants.gov.
If you should have any questions, please feel free to
contact your COE Program Manager, or
Jim
Lignugaris, the COE Grants.gov coordinator.
