October 26, 2023

Announcement: In a previous NewsFlash, it was noted that for the below upcoming scheduled downtime for Grants.gov, Cayuse S2S users would still be able to submit their S2S proposals during the maintenance window. Cayuse has since released an updated correspondence that this is no longer accurate. Proposals will not be able to be submitted using Proposals S2S/424 during these maintenance windows. Please work closely with your DCG Officer for any relevant proposal submissions that fall within the timeline of the Grants.gov scheduled maintenance. 

As noted previously, below are the scheduled downtimes coming up this week:

  • Training System will go Offline Wednesday October 25, 2023 at 12:01 AM ET.
  • Training System will go Online Friday October 27, 2023 at 6:00 AM ET.
  • Production System will go Offline Saturday October 28, 2023 at 12:01 AM ET.
  • Production System will go Online Tuesday October 31, 2023 at 11:59 PM ET.
