Grants Management System Software Features

S4 Inc’s Grants Management System (GMS) provides a single portal through which all the tasks associated with applying for a grant, awarding a grant, and managing the financials of HSO grants are performed. Access to certain sections of the GMS are based on permissions assigned to each user.
