| 1. How do I register for access to OKGrants? |
| Top of page |
| If you are responsible for the administration of awards at your organization (contract official, sponsored program support, grant administrator, research administrator, etc.) go to https://grants.ok.gov and click the 'New User?' link to begin the registration process. If you are an investigator, co-investigator, etc. do not click the 'New User?' link. Instead, you must contact the grant/contract administrator for your organization to request to be set up. It is the responsibility of your administrator to register you within OKGrants. |
| 2. How do I know what funding programs are currently available? |
| Top of page |
| Once you log into OKGrants click the VIEW OPPORTUNITIES button under the ‘View Available Opportunities’ heading to see all funding programs that are open and accepting applications. Scroll down to find the desired funding program and click the APPLY NOW button. Please note that only the Authorized Official role has permission to access the 'View Available Opportunities' section. |
| 3. Do I need to submit a Statement of Intent through OKGrants? |
| Top of page |
| No. OCAST is phasing out the intent requirements as funding programs are implemented in OKGrants. Once you begin the application process your first step will be to prepare the application for submission. |
| 4. How can I be sure that I have successfully submitted my application for funding consideration? |
| Top of page |
| Look at the current status of your application to see if it reads ‘Application Submitted’. If so, you have successfully sent it to OCAST for review. If not, you must go to the Application Menu, click VIEW STATUS OPTIONS under the ‘Change the Status’ heading and then click the APPLY STATUS button under ‘Application Submitted’. |
| 5. How do I know if my application has been awarded funding? |
| Top of page |
| Look at the current status of your application. If it reads ‘Application Awarded’ then congratulations are in order. A status of ‘Application Not Funded’ means your application was approved for funding but sufficient money was not available for the project. A status of ‘Application Not Approved’ means your application was not approved to be funded. |
| 6. Who can submit an application? |
| Top of page |
| The Principal Investigator (Authorized Official role) or Contract Official (Agency Administrator role) may submit the application once the application has been completed. Both roles must electronically sign the application before it can be submitted. Follow the instructions in the OCAST Subgrantee User Manual to aid in the submission of the application. |
| 7. Who can submit a progress report? |
| Top of page |
| Only the Principal Investigator (Authorized Official role) may initiate and submit a progress report through OKGrants. The progress report associated with a project submitted and approved in OKGrants must be submitted through OKGrants. It will not be accepted if it is sent by any other means. |
| 8. Who can submit a request for payment? |
| Top of page |
| The Fiscal Agent (Financial Officer role) or Contract Official (Agency Administrator role) may initiate, complete, and submit a request for payment. The Request for Payment associated with an application created in OKGrants must be submitted through OKGrants. It will not be accepted if it is sent by any other means. |
| 9. What about projects funded before the implementation of OKGrants? How should they be managed? |
| Top of page |
| If you submitted your application through the paper process, you will use the paper process throughout the life cycle of the award even if your specific funding program has since been implemented in OKGrants. |
| 10. I will serve as contract official and principal investigator for my project. Can I act in both roles under the same username and password? |
| Top of page |
| No. You must obtain a separate username and password for each role within the system. To be both contract official and principal investigator, you must set up two usernames assigning one the Agency Administrator role and the other the Authorized Official role. |
