This area underwent significant changes that were released November 1, 2021. For a summary of changes from the past Application Grids, view this article.

The Data Grid is the main location where administrators view application information, take action to move submissions through the process, and extract data to make decisions. 

Stage Management Tabs

Applications are grouped by status into stage tabs:

• All - Every submission, including drafts and submissions in any stage of the process
• Submissions & Drafts - All applications in a status not yet assigned to be reviewed (Draft, Submitted, Accepted, and Returned)
• Review - All applications currently in the review process or that have been awarded/rejected (Accepted, Assigned, Reviews Active, Reviewed, Awarded, Rejected)
• Award - All applications where the final award is ready to be entered (Reviewed) or a decision (Awarded/Rejected) has been entered
• Post Award - Applications that have been awarded. Progress Report information (if applicable) appears here.

Each tab contains the areas identified below. The screen shot below is of the All tab. Each tab's content will be slightly different and reflect the applications at the given stage.

A. Overview Charts and Graphs

• Donut charts and/or bar graphs display summary information and may include application status, funding, reference letters, review status, and progress report status.
• Hover over any section or bar to view amounts as percentages of the total.
