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 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

Applicant Name

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.

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 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 
Begin Date 
End 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.

Grant Search Option

Use the dropdown list to select an Applicant Type, Grant Program Name, Specific Grant Program (CFDA #).

Usage Constraints

Information in the NGGS 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. The constraints established for the enviro user account (the search uses this to connect to the ORACLE database) are:

  • Each search is limited to 2.5 minutes of central processing unit (CPU) time.
  • A single session can be 15 minutes in duration.
  • A session may stay idle for 7.5 minutes, at which time it will be terminated.

Develop searches that return small batches of data and terminate the session as soon as the searches have been executed, so that others can to access the database.
