Grant Runner
Grant Runner is the first integration with Grants.gov. For some funding opportunities, it combines the SF424 (Research & Related) form set with the UW's internal electronic Grants and Contracts form (eGC1), enabling you to complete the SF424 (R&R) form package within SAGE (System to Administer Grants Electronically).
Many US Research institutes are already using this system-to-system technology to submit applications and retrieve status information via Grants.gov. As of August 2009, the UW has successfully submitted more than 25 applications to Grants.gov using Grant Runner.
