How Do I Submit a Public Abstract

After a Program Manager (PM) recommends a proposal for funding, the PI is asked to submit a Public Abstract. The Public Abstract provides a technical summary of the research that will be funded and is intended for reading by the general public.

Remember that you have already submitted a Proposal Abstract in your Grants.gov application package. For submittal of the Public Abstract, you may want to copy-and-paste and/or edit the Proposal Abstract for resubmittal.
  1. From the PAMS home page, click the Tasks tab to go to the Pending Tasks – List page.
  2. For the Submit Public Abstract task you want to work on, click the Submit Abstract Iink in the Options column. You can use the Search link at the top of the page to enter criteria and perform a search.
