Learn: Cayuse 424
Cayuse 424, linked system-to-system to grants.gov, is used to submit proposals to most Federal sponsors (in place of the grants.gov Workspace).
While proposals to the NIH can be submitted using NIH’s ASSIST (Application Submission System & Interface for Submission Tracking) system, the Sponsored Programs Office recommends you instead use Cayuse 424, even for multi-component submissions, as it streamlines the submission process.
