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.

Upcoming

GSA Federal Audit Clearinghouse (FAC) Integration with Recipient Data Insights

Census FAC stopped accepting government-wide Single Audits on October 2, 2023. GSA FAC became operational to accept Audit Submissions in mid-September for Audit Year 2023. The GSA FAC provided the ability to integrate with external systems in late October, which allowed GrantSolutions to begin work.

Recipient Data Insights will be up-to-date with all Audit Submissions submitted to GSA FAC since mid-September 2023. As with Census FAC, Audit data from GSA FAC will be refreshed nightly.

Program Office Permissions

Program Office roles can now perform the "Verify Submission" and "Final Submission" tasks within the Application Receipt Log and Application Control screens. Previously, these actions were only available for Grants Office roles.

Recipient Grant Note Notification

In FY23 Q1, GrantSolutions implemented the Partner request that Recipients no longer be able to edit Grant Notes once submitted so they can be a part of the Grant File.

To improve Recipient communication, the system will now show a warning message letting Recipients know they can no longer delete a Grant Note once it is created and to contact the Grants Office if deletion is needed.

Released Enhancements

Grantor Grants List and Grant Details

The new Grants List screen displays results in a user-friendly way, and improved search capabilities allow you to conduct more business-driven searches to accomplish your daily tasks.

The enhanced Grant Details screen presents data and actions in a centralized hub, saving time on post-award tasks.

As a reminder, all training materials for Grants List and Details can be found by clicking on the Training Icon in the header bar on the Home Page and then the sub-menu "Support and Documentation".
