Grants Application Status is a service that allows Sponsored Projects Office staff (SPOs) and Principal Investigators (PIs) to check the status of grant applications submitted to the National Science Foundation (NSF), the Department of Agriculture's Cooperative State Research, Education, and Extension Service (USDA/CSREES), and the Department of Defense, Army Research Office (DoD/ARO).
Grants Application Status is now available! To access the service, you must log-in to Research.gov. For instructions for logging in and accessing Grants Application Status, please see the Research.gov Grantee Services Instructional Overview.
