NGGS Search User Guide
The Next Generation Grants System (NGGS) processes the Agency Grants and Interagency Agreements. The Next Generation Grants System (NGGS) contains information on the recipient of the grant, fellowship, cooperative agreement and interagency agreement, including the name of the entity accepting the award. This is usually an organization, with the exception of fellowships, which are awarded to persons, and interagency agreements which are awarded to other federal agencies.
This is a brief user's guide to the NGGS Search. Select from a variety of different search options and output options detailed below.
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 a complete or partial applicant name to retrieve all the applicants with that name. Select the “Beginning With” option to retrieve results where the start of the applicant name is equal to the search value. When the "Exact Match" option is specified for an applicant name, only applicants that exactly match the name as entered will be retrieved. Select the "Containing" option when entering a partial name for a better retrieval the first time you access the data.
Date Search Option
NGGS only displays records where the award date is within the past 10 years. Use the calendar link to select a date range for Award Dates, Begin Dates, or End Dates. In the calendar popup, click on two dates to select a date range within the current month. Click the month and year in the header of the calendar to select a different month and year for the search.
