Grants.gov Outage This Weekend, April 18-19
Grants.gov has scheduled an outage this weekend to apply changes/upgrades to the system. The site will be inaccessible from 12:00 midnight, Saturday, April 18, until 6:00 a.m. Monday, April 20.
How This Affects NIFA Applicants
Since Grants.gov will be down over the weekend, NIFA will not download applications until the system comes back online. In addition, applicants will not be able to submit applications during this time.
The four funding opportunities below could be impacted by this outage if issues arise from the upgrade. We do not, however, anticipate problems. Grants.gov will resume online service on Monday morning, April 20.
