Seeking & Tracking a Grant
Tracking your U.S. government grant application is a relatively simple procedure. Under the tracking number system developed by the government, just about anyone with access to the Internet or a telephone can track the status of a submitted application. If you have submitted a grant application to the U.S. government and have kept copies of all correspondence you received from the government regarding your application, then you should have no problem tracking the status of your grant application.
