The Integrated Grants Management System (IGMS) is EPA's management information system for all EPA grant programs. This national system is used by Headquarters, Regions, and States to track, award, administer, and monitor grants.
This is a brief user's guide to the IGMS Search Form. Use the form to select a variety of different search options and output options detailed below. Contact Us for additional searches or suggestions that you would find useful.
Select more than one search option at a time to speed up the search and make the retrieval more focused. Only those facilities matching all specified criteria will be retrieved.
Name Search Option
Enter the complete or partial applicant name, to retrieve all the applicants with that name. Select the "Containing" option when entering a partial name for a better retrieval the first time you access the data. When an "Exact Match" option is specified for an applicant name, only applicants that exactly match the name as entered will be retrieved.
IGMS only displays records where the award date is within the past 10 years. Use the calendar link to select a date range for Award Date, Begin Date, or End Date. The format is MMDDYYYY, where MM indicates month, DD indicates day, and YYYY indicates year (e.g., month = 06, day = 21, year =2002).
Award Date
You can either leave the "To" field blank or specify an end date to the desired range. If you leave the "To" field blank, the search will retrieve all records beginning with the "From" date onward.
Use the dropdown list to select an Applicant Type, Grant Program Name, Specific Grant Program (CFDA #).

Information in the IGMS database can be freely accessed through the use of this search. The complexity of the search is up to the user. Searches that return a large volume of data may terminate prematurely due to system limitations.
