Upcoming Releases

The information listed below shares high-level planned system enhancements that address user requests and current operational needs. The enhancements listed will be available to the majority of the GrantSolutions Partnership. Enhancements are listed by the quarter in which GrantSolutions currently plans to release them.

2CFR 200 (Uniform Guidance) Revisions

The terms “Catalog for Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) number” and “CFDA program title” will be replaced with “Assistance Listings number” and “Assistance Listings program title.”

All Notice of Award (NOA) types within the system that were not previously updated now reflect this updated terminology.

Additional System Updates

GrantSolutions has updated the inactive timeout policy from 30 minutes to 15 minutes across the entire ecosystem.

After 10 minutes of no activity on any of your open GrantSolutions system tabs, users will receive a pop-up notification warning that they will be logged out of the system on all tabs in 5 minutes unless they click “Continue.”

Upcoming Enhancements

Previously, "Grant Notes" was used as a catch-all phrase to encompass communications between Grantors and Recipients. The new messages features will replace the existing Application & Grant Notes and will include:

  • Bulk actions including Send, Search, Attach, and Download
  • Custom note categories to improve file management
  • Easy-to-locate documents
  • A Notification Center to view the status of unread messages
