Purpose:  This procedure demonstrates how to approve a discretionary slate in G5.  This functionality provides the means to approve grant applications for CFDA/Subprogram funding.  Grant applications which have been submitted for a CFDA/Subprogram are placed on the slate in rank order based on the scoring process.  The applications are given an initial status of "Recommended" or "Not Recommended" depending on where each fall within the planned funding amount available for the competition.  The slates must be approved in order to obligate the funds for the awards. 

 

 

G5 Role:  Program Office Staff (as long as their office is associated with the CFDA Subprogram)
