## Merge Goals

- Integrate all FIND functionality into APPLY System:
- Single Hosting Facility & Architecture
- Single Database
- Reuse of Functionality
- Present a single look and feel of the application
- Utilize existing terminology and interface elements where appropriate
- Implement Oracle Text search engine

- October 25, 2005

## Combined Functionality

- Define an opportunity and application package in a single flow
- Single Sign On
- Eliminate Fedgrants.gov (Redirected to Grants.gov)
- Single Look & Feel for FIND & APPLY

- October 25, 2005

## APPLY security to be used by Grantor logins for FIND functionality
Security roles defined in APPLY will be extended to incorporate FIND unique functions (“Manage Synopsis”)
The agency structures in the APPLY subsystem have been modified & will be used for FIND functions (e.g., Publish Synopses)
Some Grants.gov Users may need to re-register (if registered only in FIND)
Re-registering can proceed immediately

The APPLY opportunities structure, which currently stores the application package opportunity will be expanded to include the fields used for the grant synopsis on the FIND side
This approach minimizes redundant data between the FIND opportunity and the application package
