WORKSPACE OVERVIEW
Get Started on Your Workspace Application
Workspace is the standard way for organizations or individuals to apply for federal grants in Grants.gov. Workspace allows a grant team to simultaneously access and edit different forms within an application. Plus, the forms can be filled out online or offline — your choice.
Grants.gov Workspace also allows applicants and organizations to choose which approach to use for their application workflow. Here are three approaches that applicants can take when completing a Workspace application?
Basic
+ Best for organizations with 1-2 registered Grants.gov users
+ Application forms are downloaded and emailed to collaborators before being uploaded back to the workspace
Intermediate
+ Best for organizations with 3-5 registered Grants.gov users
+ Applicant teams are typically comprised of an AOR who submits, as well as a Workspace Owner who oversees form completion
Advanced
+ Best for organizations with external Grants.gov users, such as consultants
+ Workspace Owner manages form access
+ Workspace Owner adds subforms
Using Custom Roles in Workspace
Organizations are also able to create custom roles and assign these roles to the users affiliated with their organization.
