I have access as I registered to get my login access, but I am not the primary grant applicant. Can I still enter the grant and see how it progresses?
Yes, you will have access to view and manage the grant if you are listed as an additional contact.
Grant Application
If our county administrator/city manager wants to sign hard copy, then we wouldn't fill out his name, would we? Or would we, and then attach signed copy somehow?
For the CCCA/PSA grants, the County Administrator/City Manager is required to register in OGMS and approve the submission with an electronic signature. If they also want to sign a hardcopy, you can print the application for their signature and keep it for your files.
Once the application is filled out, you just save, then get your authorized approver to log in for that grant, then they can approve from there. No actual signatures are required?
Correct. Electronic signatures are accepted for the grant application.
If more than one grant is started, can they be merged?
You cannot merge duplicate applications. You can cut and pasted from the duplicates and then withdrawal the applications that are not needed.
Please do not create more than one application.
Does only one person “start a new application?”
One person starts the application, but other registered users can edit the application before it is submitted.
If you review your application and find items that need attention, do you email that person, or do we have to keep checking to see if it was approved?
Once you submit your application, the grant monitor will review it for completeness and accuracy before accepting it as complete. If you know that you need to make corrections, use the OGMS “ask a question” function to let your monitor know you need to edit the application.
Can the application title be changed prior to submission of the application?
Yes, you can make edits until you submit the application.
Who can see the grant application pages?
All registered users in the Organization can see the application pages.
Who would you recommend that we list as an additional grantee contact?
List all staff who are responsible for managing the grant. These users will have the ability to complete and submit reports, contract amendments, correspondence, and view grant information.
How many additional contacts can be added to a grant?
As many as you need, the system doesn't have a limit to the additional contacts.
