SpartaGrants has a built-in System-to-System (S2S) portal for the submission of proposals through . This helps to reduce the rejection of proposals due to missing or incorrect information, making it the strongly preferred method of application submissions. Some of the benefits of S2S include:

- Auto-population of ÐÇ¿Õ´«Ã½ data, including address, UEI (unique entity identifier), etc.
- Automatic budget calculations
- More streamlined award set up
- What you sent is what you have internally (avoids post-submission data entry errors)
- Data is immediately available for reporting
- Proposal records can be electronically updated based on institutional business process
- Consistent user interface for look up and submission status
- Track institutional data
- Validations
- Submission tracking
- Fewer errors/greater acceptance on first submission
Sometimes, a funding opportunity is not supported by SpartaGrants (e.g. NIH P50, P30, any multi-component grant) or requires an alternate submission method. In those cases, applications should be initiated/submitted in accordance with the funding opportunity guidelines and/or an in an alternate portal (i.e. ASSIST, grants.gov, research.gov, etc).
