<div>RE: EGMS Update</div>
<div> </div>
<div> </div>
<div>Good Morning,</div>
<div>Today ODE will be releasing a new version of the Electronic Grants Management System (EGMS). There are several enhancements of which you should be aware.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>First, at the top of the Main page of EGMS you will see a message button labeled “Check for Announcements Here”. Any notifications regarding EGMS will be posted on this page as well as being sent via one or more of our List-Serve email lists.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Second, under Web-Reports you will find a new report entitled SAN Notification. From this point forward any Sub Grant Award Notifications (SANs) created for new or modified grant awards will be created in PDF format and posted in this list. As long as
the grant is open the SAN will remain on this list, and you can print it as needed for your fiscal operations. We will be adding any specific instructions regarding each sub grant to the SAN in place of the Award Letters you may have received in the past.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Third, if you have sub grants with multiple fund sources you will find each CFDA attached to a given sub grant in the CFDA report and under the Web-Sub Grant/Sub Grant list in the detail of each sub grant.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>We hope these changes will make your sub grant data more accessible and user-friendly. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions, suggestions or if you find a bug.</div>
