Could we use grantsCENTRAL to post a program similar to grants.gov?
Absolutely. grantsCENTRAL can provide the Find & Apply functionality that currently exists in grants.gov. The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) director, Peter Orszag, recently was quoted saying about grants.gov, “As it stands now, the existing infrastructure would not be able to handle the influx of applications.” grantsCENTRAL is ready to offload the burden of grants.gov traffic by easily posting an alternative solution for posting ARRA programs.
Why is grantsCENTRAL an ideal American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) solution?
With a proven track record of proposalCENTRAL and over 100,000 registered users around the world, grantsCENTRAL is poised to become the de facto standard Software-as-a-Service grant solution for the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. No other solution can be implemented as rapidly, economically, or effectively as grantsCENTRAL.
What are the ARRA issues that grantsCENTRAL helps solve?
grantsCENTRAL helps you do more with less. The increased burden on all government agencies receiving ARRA funds is unprecedented. The challenge to distribute funds quickly and adhere to the reporting and accountability requirements requires a robust technological solution. The number of staff in your organization may not increase, but with our experienced staff and help desk, you can manage the increased workload and not break the bank.
