Fast Grant

Faster Proposals: the Fast Grant way
FastGrant standalone is user-friendly proposal management software that can be used to develop and submit system to system submissions to Grants.gov. It’s simple, affordable and can be used together with existing research administration systems at your organization. System to System submissions to Grants.gov do not use Adobe forms. Information published by Grants.gov at http://grants-gov.blogspot.com consistently shows that system to system submissions have a lower rejection rate than Adobe form submissions.

FastGrant standalone can also be used to develop and manage non Grants.gov proposals to capture a consistent set of data for all proposals submitted by an organization. Within FastGrant, your organization’s proposal routing or approval form can be made available and your site can route the proposal to the appropriate institutional signers. FastGrant allows both researchers and administrators to quickly generate a set of standard reports for all proposals and can also be customized to include site-specific reports.
