Grants Assistant

Start with My week

The default view shows grants you marked Pursue or Watch, plus anything due in the next 7 days. Use List to browse all open RFPs, or Board for the office pipeline.

Two-step federal grants (DOJ / COPS)

Some grants require two separate filings: first a short form on Grants.gov, then the full application in JustGrants a few days later. You cannot skip Grants.gov and apply in JustGrants alone.

If you see “Grants.gov deadline is over”, the short-form date has passed. Check Grants.gov — if that form is already submitted, you can still finish JustGrants before its deadline. If not, that round is closed.

Other grants (for example SAMHSA) use Grants.gov only — one step, no JustGrants.

Office fit badges

• DA can lead — your office can be the applicant
• DA as partner — another agency should lead; DA may join
• Refer out — not DA — pass to police or another agency (example: COPS hiring grants)
• Check eligibility — read the brief or NOFO before investing time

List view rows

In List, each grant is a condensed row — click to expand briefs, award details, deadlines, and review actions. Urgent rows open automatically. Use quick filters and sort to narrow the catalog.

Office review

On each row, mark Pursue (we are working on this), Watch (keep an eye on it), or Dismiss (hide from My week). Click the same button again to clear your choice.

Application briefs

Expand a row and open Application brief for NOFO steps, checklist items, and eligibility notes. Related active portfolio awards appear when tags overlap. Always confirm deadlines on the official funder site before filing.
