Overview<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Functionality for Grantor users to log into GrantSolutions through Login.gov is available. Grantor users
may log into GrantSolutions and other participating grants systems (e.g., SAM.gov and Grants.gov)
through Login.gov, reducing the burden of managing multiple usernames and passwords.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grantor users must use a Personal Identity Verification (PIV) card to log into GrantSolutions through
Login.gov. Grantor users must create a Login.gov account and add a PIV card to the account prior to
attempting to log in through Login.gov using a PIV card.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
