The eGrants Internal System allows FEMA to electronically manage the process of creating, reviewing, and amending award packages for applications and subapplications that were approved in the Pre-Award Eligibility Workflow. The Awards Workflow is the process for preparing and reviewing these award packages.

Once subapplications have been approved in the Pre-Award Eligibility Workflow, they can be selected to be included in a federal award. The Awards Workflow begins with the Create/Amend Award Package queue. This queue may entail creating an initial award package for an initial obligation or creating an amendment to an existing award package that may involve an additional obligation, no obligation, or a de-obligation. If an initial award package is created, it is forwarded to the Regional Director Review queue. The Regional Director may disapprove the award package and send it back to the Create/Amend Award Package queue, or he or she may approve the award package, which then submits the obligation to Generic Financial Services (GFS) and the Integrated Financial Management Information System (IFMIS) for obligation approval. If a subaward has a federal share of $1 million or more, the Notification Coordination queue will need to be completed and will take place after the Regional Director Review queue.
