User Roles
This webpage will be updated frequently and serve as a portal for award recipients to access training resources and user support options.
Account information (ID and Password) is automatically e-mailed to the new user. Grant recipients can have one of three recipient roles in GrantSolutions: Administrative Official (ADO), Program Director (PD) Grantee Financial Official (GFO). Each grant is required to have an Administrative Official (ADO)and a Program Director (PD) assigned to it. A Grantee Financial Official (GFO) is an optional user assignment.
The following user roles definitions will help you understand the scope of the three foundational roles as you determine who should be GrantSolutions users in your organization and which roles those users should possess. A few tips to remember:
- Grantee ADO’s may assign multiple users to multiple roles
- Each user may be assigned to multiple applications and awards
- Each user will have one username and password
Reporting
The EAC’s engagement with Payment Management System (PMS) and Alchemer ended on September 30th, 2022, which was also the last day reports were available to download for grantees. Recently submitted reports are already populated in the GrantSolutions system. Future reporting dates have already been preloaded. The EAC will no longer accept reports via email. The upcoming annual reports (financial and progress) due on December 29th will be available for starting November 1st.
