The Payment and Reporting System allows you to view detailed information on your grants, their respective financial reports, and any notifications that were issued because of events pertaining to the grants and reports. Additionally, you have the ability to send the Federal Financial Report FFR/SF 425 electronically with this system. This option allows you to inspect the grant and grant notification information.
Select the Grants Tab at the top of the page. The PARS Maintenance—Home Page is displayed, and a sidebar presents links for you to perform various functions. Click the Grants List option from the sidebar or the click here link within the text of the page. The Browse Grants Table, containing a listing of existing grants and their respective vendor identification numbers, as well as their start and end dates, is displayed. Note that each vendor ID corresponds to a different grantee in the system—as a grantee, you most likely see only one vendor ID. You may sort the list in ascending or descending order by clicking the Grant Number header over the list of grants or the Vendor ID, Grant Start Date, or Grant End Date headers, or navigate through the list with the First, Previous, Next, and Last buttons. Should you wish to limit the list you view, click the Search option and enter any, some, or all of the following: grant number, vendor ID (not applicable to a grantee user associated with only one), grantee (not applicable to a grantee user; use the magnifying glass icon for a lookup list—this also provides the grantee ID/vendor ID), start date, and end date. Then click Set Filter. (You may enter only the initial character or characters of a grant number or vendor ID, if desired, to cull all entries starting with the indicated alphanumeric.) To view the entire grant listing, click the Search option, delete all search criteria, and click Set Filter.
