I completed my application. How do I submit?

Once the application has been completed and all attachments have been uploaded, click the "Review and Submit" button at the bottom of the last page of the application. Review your application. If the application is not missing required items, a “Submit” button should be available at the bottom of the page. If a submit button is not available, the application is missing (one or more) required fields or attachments. Any missing items should be noted in red near the top of the page. Once you have completed all required items and clicked the “Submit” button, you will receive an email confirmation. If you do not, please contact BWF immediately at 919-991-5116.

Can I change my application once submitted?

No. Once your application is submitted, it cannot be changed.

I forgot my user ID/password. What should I do?

For a forgotten password or user ID, access the BWF system log-in screen and click the forgotten password link.

How can I convert a document to a PDF file?

You can use standard word processing software (e.g., MS Word, WordPerfect) to prepare the documents for your application. However, you MUST convert ALL documents to portable document format (PDF) files prior to uploading and attaching them to your application.

A list of PDF generator software is available on the grants.gov website.
