EDGE UPDATE!!  

OKGrants now in use for EDGE Request for Pre-proposals!

In an effort to utilize innovative technology for the purpose of streamlining the management of our funding programs, EDGE has implemented a new electronic applications process, called OKGrants. For the 2012 EDGE submission cycle investigators will use OKGrants to submit their EDGE Request for Pre-Proposal Submissions.  This is the ONLY submission process in use for the EDGE Fund Pre-Proposals at this time. This means that applicants no longer submit an electronic copy via E-mail to the EDGE Policy Board office.
 

Access to OKGrants – Principal Investigator/ Authorized Official:  If you are intending to apply for EDGE Request for Pre-Proposal as a Principal Investigator you must first contact the Contract Official for your organization so that he/she may add you to OKGrants.  Please DO NOT click the New User? link at the OKGrants login page.
 

Access to OKGrants – Contract Official/ Agency Administrator:  If you have been the Contract Official for a previous EDGE Request for Pre-Proposal, are authorized to financially obligate your organization or sign contracts on behalf of your organization, you must go to https://grants.ok.gov to register as a new user in OKGrants.  If you have an existing account with OKGrants, please request access to EDGE from the EDGE System Administrator. A separate username is not required.  

• To begin the registration process, open the OKGrants site and click on the New User? link on the right hand side of the screen.  Complete all required contact information on the My Profile page then click the SAVE button.  
• Once your account has been validated by an EDGE system administrator, you will receive an E-mail notification to log into OKGrants.  You will then need to log back into your OKGrants account to add investigators to your organization.  Investigators you add to your organization may then apply for funding under the EDGE Fund program.  
• You can access the user manual under the My Training Materials link on the homepage to learn more about navigating this system.

It is imperative that you begin the OKGrants submission process with plenty of time to complete your RFP!  Submissions WILL NOT be accepted after the Deadline has closed!

The EDGE Innovative Ideas Proposals will still be accepted through the E-mail application process until further notice.
