Become a Participant

Applicants may become a Participant in a workspace through two primary channels:

• Via Apply on the View Grant Opportunity page

• Via contacting the current Workspace Owner

Apply on the View Grant Opportunity Page

There will be an Apply button on the View Grant Opportunity page that is active for Grants.gov users with the Workspace Manager, Standard AOR, or Expanded AOR role. From this page, they will be able to create a workspace and become a Participant (and the Workspace Owner) by completing the Apply process. Review the View Grant Opportunity help article for more details.

Through Contacting the Current Workspace Owner

Applicants wanting to be added as a Participant to a specific workspace can also contact the Workspace Owner. When the Workspace Owner has added the applicant to the workspace, the new Participant will receive an email notification.

Upon logging on to Grants.gov and accessing the Applicant Center page, the new Participant can access the workspace with the following steps:

1. Click the Manage Workspaces link under the Grant Applications heading.

2. Locate the workspace by searching for it on the Manage Workspaces page. Search fields include Funding Opportunity Number, Funding Opportunity Title, Opportunity Package ID, Workspace ID, Application Filing Name, and Last Activity Date (range).

3. In the Results table, click the Manage link under the Actions column of the desired workspace record.
