Frequently asked questions

Where do GRANTSRUS listings come from?

Listings are retrieved from official public sources, including Simpler.Grants.gov, SAM.gov, USAJOBS, CareerOneStop, official state and local government websites, workforce agencies, education agencies, licensing boards, and verified provider websites.

Every record carries a small “Verified source” label that links back to the original official record whenever the source publishes one.

Are these real grants, contracts, jobs, and training programs?

Yes. Search results come from live official records, not samples or placeholders. If a source is temporarily unavailable, we say so instead of filling the page with invented listings.

Is GRANTSRUS.INFO a government agency?

No. GRANTSRUS.INFO is an independent research and application-support platform. We are not a government agency and are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or acting on behalf of any agency, funder, employer, or training provider.

Does GRANTSRUS issue grants or contracts?

No. We do not issue grants, award contracts, hire for positions, or grant certifications. Those decisions belong entirely to the issuing organization named on each record.

Does GRANTSRUS guarantee funding or employment?

No. Nothing here guarantees funding, an award, an interview, employment, certification, or approval. Our tools help you organize and strengthen truthful application materials.

How often are listings updated?

Search results are requested from the official source at the moment you search, so you see what that source currently publishes. Details on individual records are refreshed each time you open them.

Why might an opportunity be changed or removed?

Issuing organizations amend, extend, cancel, or withdraw opportunities regularly. When a record no longer appears in the official source, it stops appearing here, and an opened record will tell you it is no longer listed.

Where do I submit an official application?

Always use the official website linked from the record, such as Grants.gov, SAM.gov, USAJOBS, the agency’s own portal, or the training provider’s enrollment page. Applying with the official provider never requires a paid membership here.

How does GRANTSRUS verify training providers?

Training entries record the approving jurisdiction or recognizing body, the provider’s own program page, the delivery format, and the date the entry was last checked. Entries that have not been confirmed are labeled so you can verify before paying. Sponsored providers are labeled and never ranked above other results.

What does “Verified source” mean?

It names the official system or organization the record came from and links to the original record. It means the information was retrieved from that source. It does not mean we have independently approved the opportunity or that its details cannot change.

What should I do if information differs from the official website?

Trust the official website. Deadlines, qualifications, fees, availability, and submission requirements must be confirmed there before you apply, enroll, or pay. You can also tell us using the “Report Incorrect Information” action on the record.

How can an agency or provider correct a listing?

Email hello@grantsrus.info with the record title, the opportunity or announcement number, and the correct information or official link. Federal records are corrected at the source, so updates published by the agency flow through automatically.
