Attention all Department of Labor (DOL) grant applicants and grant recipients!
- Did your organization apply for a new DOL grant award? and/or,
- Does your organization have a current DOL grant award?
If you answered yes to either of these questions, the following information is for you!
DOL is using the GrantSolutions platform for processing grant applications, issuing and managing grant awards, amendments (award modifications), and award closeouts.
What is GrantSolutions?
GrantSolutions is a shared service provider that supports DOL and many other federal agencies throughout the grant lifecycle. GrantSolutions is a single system where grant applicants, grant recipients, and federal staff can perform and monitor the status of their respective grants management activities.
Please note that:
- GrantSolutions DOES NOT replace Grants.gov. but will connect to Grants.gov to retrieve applications submitted by organizations.
- GrantSolutions does not provide Payment disbursement processes and does not accept your quarterly Federal Financial Reports (FFRs). Health and Human Services’ operated Payment Management System (PMS) will provide payment disbursement processes and FFRs need to be submitted in PMS.
GrantSolutions Capabilities
DOL grant applicants and grants recipients can perform the following actions in GrantSolutions:
- Submit Sole Source and Jobs for Veterans State Grants (JVSG)
- JVSG applications – although most applications will be submitted via Grants.gov, Sole Source applications and applications for the JVSG program will be submitted in GrantSolutions
- Submit amendment request (award modification) and required documentation
- View awards and award history
- Communicate with DOL grant and program office staff (view and add correspondence grant notes).
Applicant and Recipient System Access
- DOL grant applicants and grant recipients who are already GrantSolutions users (i.e., organizations that have applied to or have been awarded by other Federal Agencies that use GrantSolutions) will automatically be able to access their DOL awards in GrantSolutions.
- DOL grant applicants and grant recipients who are new to GrantSolutions will need to request to have GrantSolutions accounts created. Please see link below for instructions: https://home.grantsolutions.gov/home/getting-started-request-a-user-account/
