A reminder...

Retiring the Funding and General Templates

Since being introduced in December 2023, the Form Designer template has been the preferred option to create opportunities in InfoReady due to its improved functionality and usability over other templates. For those that haven’t made the switch to Form Designer, it’s now time to upgrade your Funding and General template opportunities to make them easier for you to manage and for applicants and reviewers to complete their forms. 


We’ve worked the last several months to make the process of upgrading existing Funding and General template opportunities as smooth as possible. You will see information throughout the platform about how to complete the upgrade process for any opportunity that you may need to upgrade. 


Between now and July 1, 2026: 

  • We encourage you to create any new opportunities with the Form Designer template. 
  • Begin upgrading any competitions you expect that you will need to use after July 1.  
  • Attend training webinars dedicated to the upgrade to the Form Designer template. We’ll be hosting monthly webinars on the topic, with different webinars covering either basic or advanced concepts. Sign up here for the next webinar on Tuesday, 2/10 at 1pm ET. See here for the full list of webinar options. 


Any opportunities launched with the Funding or General templates before July 1, 2026 will not be impacted. You will continue to be able to manage those opportunities for the duration of those opportunities, including Progress Reports. Any opportunities created with the General or Funding templates after July 1 will need to be upgraded before you can launch them. 


For complete information on the upgrade process, see Transferring Existing Opportunities to the Form Designer Template on the InfoReady Support Portal.
