Upcoming Enhancements

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.

Released Enhancements

Closeout Module: Email Notifications & Dashboard

GrantSolutions is transforming the Federal closeout process through incremental enhancements that will automate 70-80% of closeout tasks, reducing errors and accelerating award lifecycle completion.
With this latest release, the system sends an email notification based on batch assignments within the Closeout Module.
This enhancement automates compliance messaging around closeout requirements through notifications, driving timely recipient actions and streamlining final grant reporting.
A new Closeout Dashboard centralizes all closeout actions, reducing administrative friction and improving task prioritization.

FFR & PPR File Name Descriptions

Previously, system-generated files, particularly the Federal Financial Report (FFR) and Performance Progress Report (PPR), lacked unique file name descriptions during the download process.
This enhancement updates the file names to include the Report Type, Grant Number, and Unique Entity Identifier (UEI) as well as the start and end dates of either the reporting or period of performance. 
Users will no longer have to manually rename files for identification and organizational purposes.

Upcoming Enhancements

Grant File

Coming in the summer of 2025, the Grant File tab on the Grant Details screen will become a central repository for artifacts and records currently located across the GrantSolutions system. Key features include:
  • Centralized Document Management
  • Improved Searchability
  • Enhanced Visibility into Data

Help Desk Chat Bot

Launching in the summer of 2025, the Chat Bot feature will appear on the GrantSolutions login page and will provide users with instant support for their most frequently asked questions.
