Grants.gov for Mac OS X

Grants.gov is the new unified clearinghouse for all federal grant
opportunities from all federal agencies that manage grant funds.
Grants.gov currently uses a Windows-only solution for electronic
grant submission. The PureEdge viewer is required to complete grant
application packages and, at this time, there is no native Macintosh
PureEdge client.

IBM has acquired PureEdge, and now calls the product IBM Workplace
Forms; IBM plans to add Mac support in the future and Grants.gov has
committed to providing a cross-platform solution by November 2006. In
the interim, Grants.gov, in conjunction with NIH, has created a
Citrix server solution that allows Mac OS X users to complete their
application packages using Mac OS X.

The University of Wisconsin has created a single preconfigured
package for Mac OS X users to access this solution. This package is
provided to the community as a service by the University of
Wisconsin, and is not an official product of Grants.gov. The
University of Wisconsin cannot provide support for this solution.
