> individual) or your organization/institution are registered with
> Grants.gov, time to familiarize yourself with the electronic
> submission process and the new forms, and time to submit. We
> encourage you to review “A Guide for Preparation and Submission of
> CSREES Applications via Grants.gov” prior to attempting to submit a
