The Grants Product Upgrade to 10.5.3 will Go Live on Tuesday, April 30th.



The current RAPPORT Grants system will go offline on Friday, April 26th at 5pm.  You will not have access to Proposals and Awards in RAPPORT as of this time until the upgraded system is available on Tuesday, April 30th at 8am.



IN FLIGHT PROPOSALS



We have scheduled the upgrade at a time that has a low volume of proposals, therefore, we are expecting a smooth transition with little interruption in the proposal development process.



Our recommendation is to submit proposals in advance of Go Live when possible.  Rest assured that all proposals will be submitted.



Please reach out to your Grants Officer with any specific proposal questions.





If you will be processing proposals created in our current system with deadlines the week of April 29th, or later, please read the schedule below for outages related to proposal development:
