The Introduction to Grants.gov Video Series covers the complete Grants.gov application process, from registering and creating a Grants.gov account to searching for funding opportunities and filling out an application package.

The Learning Workspace Video Series for Organization Applicants provides step-by-step instructions for using Grants.gov’s new Workspace functionality, which is coming in mid-October. Videos in this series outline key Workspace actions, such as creating a workspace, adding participants to a workspace, and completing forms within a workspace.
