JustGrants also allows authorized internal users to maintain files on unsuccessful applicants and to update, modify, and maintain files for past and current award recipients. Finally, applicants for, and recipients of, federal grant funding from OJP, COPS, and OVW will be able to use JustGrants to manage the full lifecycle of the DOJ grants or payment programs with which they are involved, including applying for, accepting, modifying, monitoring, reporting on, and closing out of the grants or programs.
