Grantee Rollout Status
As planned, monthly grantee deployments commenced in October. Monthly roll-outs will continue until all grantees have been deployed onto Grants Online. The next deployment is scheduled for January 30, 2006.
To date, 105 grantees have been deployed onto Grants Online during the 1st Quarter. Approximately 80 additional grantees will be deployed on January 30, 2006. The remaining quarterly targets:
Q2 = 172
Q3 = 172
Q4 = 170
FY06 total = 600
A complete list of deployed grantees is updated monthly and located at:

Grantee Deployment Process
As the following flow-chart shows, the Grantee deployment and data scrub involves a series of steps and approximately 10 individuals.
While the grantee deployment itself takes time and resources, it has become apparent that the simultaneous Grants Online data scrub, crucial to each individual grantee’s deployment, requires an even greater level of effort from the Grants Online team.
The data scrub involves, for example, ensuring that each grantee record in the database has a DUNS, and that each grantee organization has a correct address and reflects a standard naming convention. This might involve differentiating, for instance, all State of Alaska records into Alaska Department of Fish & Game; Alaska Department of Natural Resources; etc. It also involves updating the Grants Online database so that all award records for Pennsylvania State University are shown in the database as belonging to Pennsylvania State University, not: The Pennsylvania State University, Penn State University, and The Board of Regents of the Pennsylvania State University.

Lessons-Learned to Date
Need more than one individual assigned to contact the grantees by phone to determine who from the grantee organization should serve as the reviewer/verifier of the Grants Online award data. As expected, the importance of thorough and frequent communication with the grantees and the FPO’s is a key to deployment success.
Originally, awards and number of deployed grantees were considered as metrics for the grantee roll-out. However, it is now evident that the deployment of each grantee takes approximately the same amount of time (regardless of the number of awards that the grantee possesses). Therefore, the Grants Online team is focusing on “number of grantees” to track deployment progress.

Reassigning an Award file
When an Award file is reassigned and there are sub-documents, e.g. Procurement Request, NEPA and PO Checklist for the Program Officer, they also are reassigned to the new Program Officer
- When the Grants Specialist has the Award File in their inbox at the time of the Program Officer reassignment is made, there is a workflow entry for changing the Program Officer and when the Grants Specialist sends it back to the Program Officer, the reassigned Program Officer will receive the action.
- There will be a track record in the workflow history of the date and time that the reassignment happens.
- User will see the reassigned task in his/her inbox under closed tasks. The action taken will show as reassigned in the workflow history.
