Workspace Overview
Get started on your workspace application
Workspace is the standard way for organizations or individuals to apply for federal grants in Grants.gov. Workspace allows a grant team to simultaneously access and edit different forms within an application. Plus, the forms can be filled out online or offline — your choice.
Grants.gov Workspace also allows applicants and organizations to tailor their application workflow. Here are three approaches that applicants can take when completing a Workspace application:
Basic
Best for organizations with 1-2 registered Grants.gov users
Application forms are downloaded and emailed to collaborators before being uploaded back to the workspace
Intermediate
Best for organizations with 3-5 registered Grants.gov users
Applicant teams are typically comprised of an AOR who submits, as well as a Workspace Owner who oversees form completion
Advanced
Best for organizations with external Grants.gov users, such as consultants
Workspace Owner manages form access
Workspace Owner adds subforms
Using custom roles in workspace
Organizations are also able to create custom roles and assign these roles to the users affiliated with their organization.
