CSREES Application Package for FY2008
  • CSREES is using PureEdge Software for FY 2008
    applications submitted through Grants.gov. The
    decision to use PureEdge forms was based on
    several reasons
  • The Research and Related (RR) Adobe forms
    package was not completed until October 1.
  • Customer Support for the Adobe forms at CSREES is
    not available.

CSREES Application Package for FY2008 (Continued)
  • Two major Request for Applications (RFAs) were
    posted using the PureEdge forms. Estimated 75
    of all applications.
  • Adequate time to test the Adobe forms and train
    our staff.
  • Avoid confusion that supporting dual applications
    forms may cause.
  • Grants.gov has agreed to support PureEdge forms
    for FY2008.
