Getting Started with Grants.gov, Workspace, and Cayuse
Grants.gov Workspace is a web portal for electronic proposal development and submission.
The University of Utah requires the use of Cayuse for supported grant proposals. For NSF applications, we require that Research.gov be used. Review the Cayuse information in Electronic Submission & Registration.
If submitted through Cayuse or sent directly through Grants.gov Workspace, Grants.gov then electronically forwards submitted applications to the respective funding agency (NIH and others). Grants.gov itself is NOT a funding agency.
Anyone at the University planning to submit an application for federal funding, that is not supported by Cayuse, should create a Workspace account.
- Account must be created by the individual.
- Register
- Account is needed to be added to a Workspace as a participant
- Participants can have access to application forms and attachments in Workspace without being affiliated with an institution.
- An account is not required to be listed as Key Personnel in a propoal
- Affiliation of an account is required in order for OSP to have access to view and
submit a Workspace proposal
- Affiliation of the account with the University of Utah UEI is done by the individual during the account registration and profile completion process.
- An account can have multiple affiliations.
New Workspace users should read and review the following material:
Please note: The University of Utah maintains an institutional registration in Grants.gov Workspace. All proposal submissions are carried out by the Office of Sponsored Projects, and each Sponsored Projects Officer uses dedicated, institution-authorized login credentials for this purpose. Individual investigators - and any delegates working with them - do not need thier own Grants.gov username and password to prepare application materials. They may complete all Workspace forms and components, which OSP will then review and submit on behalf of the University.
- If Cayuse displays an error indicating that the opportunity is not fully supported, please follow instructions provided for completing your application in Grants.gov Workspace.
