Grant Proposal window when you start building a new proposal.Refer to the Start Build training module for details.

Some organizations control opportunity downloads centrally. If this is the case, you will not be able to perform the download yourself. You must contact the appropriate authority and request that they download the opportunity for you.

If your organization allows users to perform the download, it will configure Cayuse424 so that the system will allow you to do so.

You can obtain the Funding Opportunity number by going to www.grants.gov and using the Find Grant Opportunities link.
