grantsERA is a local web-based system that allows agencies to download grant applications directly from Grants.gov, create and manage grant applications using XML schemas from Grants.gov to validate data, and generate PDF versions of complete applications for submission to Grants.gov. It provides tools for PIs to create and edit applications, research administrators to manage the approval process, and authorizing officials to review applications. The system also stores additional pre- and post-award data beyond grant application requirements.
