Your GCA Specialist will initiate a GRAMS Funding Proposal for you based on the information submitted in a GCS Request. If you have not yet submitted a GCS Request Form to GCA, you will need to submit your request and await a reply from your assigned GCA Specialist before moving forward. The below section will provide you an introduction to basic navigation of the GRAMS system and provide information on how to access your Funding Proposal that was initiated by your GCA Specialist.

When logged into GRAMS, you will be presented with your Dashboard. The Dashboard will show you a list of all Funding Proposals that you can take action on under the My Inbox tab. There is also an additional tab for My Reviews that will only contain the Funding Proposals needing your review and approval if you are an approver for other Funding Proposals.

Select on the Name of the Funding Proposal that you would like to begin completing.

Alternatively, Funding Proposals may also be accessed from the Grants tab. This view lists all the proposals you have access too, not just those requiring action. Under the UNT Proposals tab you can locate your Funding Proposal by searching for the GFP ID# provided to you by your GCA Specialist.

You may also access draft Funding Proposals by searching under the Draft tab. You can access previously submitted Funding Proposals under the various status tabs, depending on its current status.

Once the appropriate Funding Proposal is selected, you will navigate to the Funding Proposal Workspace. In the workspace, you can see a summary of information about the Funding Proposal. We see that it is in Draft state and we can see exactly where it is in the workflow process.

Click on Edit Funding Proposal to view the Funding Proposal SmartForm and to complete your GRAMS funding record. **Please note that depending upon the state of the proposal, this button may also display as “View Funding Proposal” and will display a view only version of the SmartForm.**
