Note for External Users

If you are an External User applying on behalf of another organization, you need to be added as a user to the applicant organizations account and have ‘Applicant Portal Access’. See the External User Guides and the How to Add Users user guides for more information.

The External User will toggle to the Applicant Organization's account to apply.

Application User Guides

DED applications may have program-specific user guides, which can be found in the program sections. Otherwise, you use the general user guides found here.

Application Structure and Overview

DED's application will have several Sections. The Sections have their own Application User Guides:

Opportunity Details
- Provides an overview of the application cycle, including the close date and program manager.
Project Information
- You will enter basic information on the applicant organization and user submitting the app.
Application Forms
- This will be the main component of the application and will be program-specific.
Budget (not applicable to all applications)
- You will enter your proposed budget.
Performance Plan (not applicable to all applications)
- You will enter your proposed performance goals and milestones.
Submit
- Where you can review/submit your application once complete with all other sections.

NOTE: Multiple users cannot work on a single application simultaneously. Users will need to save their edits and exit the application before another user can view and/or make changes.

Application Progress Bar (Timeline)

After starting an Application the progress is displayed at the top of every page. You can also navigate to any Section in the application by clicking the icon above the Section’s name in the progress bar, also known as the timeline.

NOTE: You do not need to complete the timeline sections in order. However, the Project Information will need to be completed before the Budget.
