Grant's Management Webportal

12 October 2020 - 31 December 2022

Georgia’s innovation and technology agency intensively announces grants for individuals and companies having perspective, interesting and innovative ideas. Any of interested person can participate and apply for grant funding, which was established and has been operating since 2018.

In 2020, a large-scale update of the Web portal was implemented. by adding more various parameters for customizing grants as well as the integration of several Web Services of Georgia State Agencies (such as the Public Registry of Georgia, the Civil Registry of Georgia, the Revenue Service of Georgia) for automated synchronization of all relevant information.

The whole process contains several stages:

  1. Grant announcement, publish detailed requirements and conditions;
  2. Applying  for grant by interested applicant with all necessary documents and requirements;
  3. Evaluation of the submitted applications and selecting the winners by the agency.
  4. Monitoring the whole period of the project after signing the contract with the winners.

Our team developed a multi-user operational web portal for the full process of the grant management, described above based on the detailed technical assignments provided by the agency and in close cooperation with the Agency project team.

The grants web portal includes:

  • Introducing detailed information about published grants;
  • Register as applicant and create profile;
  • Applying for the grants;
  • Tracking the evaluation process;
  • Data clarification in case of needs;
  • Getting results of applications reviews.

There is also considered key performance information for compiling different analytic questionnaires and beneficiaries surveys.
