EGrAMS

 EGrAMS  is the Electronic Grants Administration and Management System. This online application system is just one component of a comprehensive grant and award management system used by the Canadian Cancer Society. In addition to receiving applications, EGrAMS also facilitates the panel review process, application ranking and approval and the administration of grants and awards.

All components of an application are completed online. If required, third parties (e.g. Host Institution authority) are given limited access to the system in order to complete their portion of the application (e.g. provide approval on behalf of the Host Institution). Applicants can be assured that they have not missed required components of their application through the system’s validation process. This validation also extends to any requirements from third parties, such as Host Institution approval. Applicants are encouraged to start applications early, and validate sections as they are completed to ensure ease of submission by the deadline date.
