RASP is providing training sessions for investigators and administrators who are preparing competing (new, renewal, resubmission, or revision) grant applications that must be submitted electronically through Grants.gov for deadlines in January, February, and March.* In the training sessions, Bess Jensen will explain and demonstrate the procedures and forms necessary for Grants.gov electronic submission using the Adobe-based form packages software. We encourage anyone who will prepare applications for Grants.gov submission in January, February, and March to attend.

The old PureEdge forms are no longer viable for submission. You must use an Adobe-based application package. To prepare to use the Adobe forms, please install a Grants.gov-compatible version of Adobe Reader from the ITS downloads website: http://weill.cornell.edu/its/downloads/.

To provide an opportunity for hands-on learning, the training sessions will be in the Samuel J. Wood library computer room. Space is limited, please contact Nadeige Fortune at 646-962-8290 or naf2005@med.cornell.edu to make your reservation. On a later date, training sessions will be scheduled for those submitting competing applications due April 1 and later.
