[Posted Feb 11, 2010]
in

The Grants.gov web site will unveil new features and enhancements on October 31. The site will be temporarily unavailable October 29-30 to complete the enhancements, preventing applicants from searching for grant opportunities or submitting applications during that period. The enhancements will enable the Grants.gov Find and Apply system to reside in a single hosting facility, database and architecture. This will present a single look and feel for Find and Apply, increase integration between the two functions and standardize the terminology. In addition, Fedgrants.gov will be shut down.
