What's New. . . .

Adobe versions of forms now in use for some opportunities

Cautions!

Between now and December 2008, some opportunities are using PureEdge forms and some are specifying Adobe Forms.
Be sure you have the latest version of the application packet for any particular opportunity.
Note: you do not have a choice. The packet will either use Adobe [pdf] or PureEdge [xpd] forms.
You must use Adobe Reader or Professional 8.1.2 for the Adobe forms.
PureEdge does not work with Vista or Leopard (the newest operating systems for Windows and Macs.)

Grants.gov software download where you get free software needed for application packets.

All users: Adobe Reader 8.1.2 or Adobe Professional 8.1.2
Mac (intel ppc) users: IBM Forms Viewer
Note: if you downloaded this viewer before April 2007, please download the latest version.
Windows users: PureEdge Viewer
