GRANTS.GOV USING CAYUSE

Training Modules

For your convenience we have provided the Grants.gov Using Cayuse training in two different formats. By selecting the links in the left column, you may review the modules in a "slide show" format; from the right column, you may access the modules in PDF format.

We have also provided the following Training Navigation Guide to illustrate how you may use the navigation tools provided in the slide show format.

Please note: Due to recent updates in the Grants.gov Cayuse web application, some screen shots in this training vary slightly from the Cayuse training server. These minor variations should not interfere with your learning, and will be resolved in the next release of the training modules.
