The Department continues to participate in all government-wide Grants.gov interagency working groups, and to support the Interagency Acquisition Environment (IAE). Support to Grants.gov involves direct funding of the effort and participation on Grants.gov interagency teams. The Department continues to monitor the related OMB Grants Management Task Force activities. The STRIPES project will revise its efforts to conform to the grants management solution approach chosen for implementation by OMB. Further, DOE is replacing or modifying legacy applications with IAE components, as they are made available on line. When STRIPES is deployed, the new system will be used to share data with the Grants.gov portal and the IAE, and will replace numerous legacy systems within the Department.
