eCIVIS GRANTS NETWORK 

eCivis Grants Network is an enterprise-wide solution based on Software as a Service technology.  eCivis Grants Network is a modular system comprised of three fully integrated components: Research, Tracking &  Reporting, and KnowledgeBase.

The eCivis Grants Network Research Module compiles hundreds of federal, state, and foundation grant opportunities in one database.  Customized search tools allow MSJC grants office staff to access results across any and all parameters within a matter of minutes. With the automated search agents, updates and daily/weekly email, eCivis Grants Research enables MSJC to be proactive in finding and applying for grant opportunities that meet specific District needs.

The eCivis Grants Network: Tracking & Reporting is a web-based grants management system that tracks grant activity through every stage of the grants management lifecycle.  eCivis Tracking & Reporting is fully integrated with eCivis Grants Research allowing information to be easily transferred between the two modules.  eCivis Tracking & Reporting saves time by automatically performing and centralizing many of the administrative functions that were previously done by hand.

The eCivis Grants Network: KnowledgeBase provides district personnel with education and reference resources designed to improve individual grant-related skills.  eCivis KnowledgeBase is made up of automated training courses specifically developed to meet the needs of district personnel involved in the grant development, writing, management and reporting functions.  eCivis KnowledgeBase provides an extensive collection of valuable resources, including articles on grant writing from experts in the field, commonly used grant-related guides and links, and beginner and intermediate courses about the grant lifecycle.
