Overview

The Colorado Department of Education (CDE) is excited to announce the successful implementation of our grants management system, GAINS! This new system, the Grants Administration Implementation and Navigation System (GAINS), will revolutionize the way we manage and administer grants.

GAINS offers:

Streamlined Application Processes: Our new system simplifies the grant application process, making it more accessible and user-friendly for both applicants and reviewers.
Improved Communication: The system enhances collaboration through GAINS with automated notifications and real-time updates.
Comprehensive Reporting: GAINS allows users to easily generate insightful reports that provide access to applicant data for legislative reports and tracking the impact of our grants.
Enhanced Security: Our new system prioritizes data security to protect sensitive information and maintain the highest level of trust with our applicants and stakeholders.
