Welcome to GEMS! |
---|
You have reached a site maintained by the State of Alaska's Department of Health (DOH) and the Department of Family and Community Services (DFCS). GEMS is the Grants Electronic Management System for both departments' operating and capital grants. In GEMS, users will be able to view solicitations, apply for DOH and DFCS grants, manage agency information, and manage grant awards issued by both departments. |
Federal Requirements |
---|
For all grant programs funded with Federal dollars, the State is required under 2 CFR 200 to confirm applicants and grantees are registered with SAM.gov and are not suspended or debarred from receiving Federal funding. Our office is able to confirm your agency information on SAM.gov via your agency name or Unique Entity Identifier (UEI). Grant awards may not be executed, and funds may not be advanced until the State can confirm your agency meets this Federal requirement. Once your agency is registered with SAM.gov, the Agency Power User must list the UEI under the Agency Administration tab in GEMS. More detailed information is provided in the solicitation. |
Current/Recent Grantees |
---|
If an agency has an active grant or has had a grant with DHSS in recent years, registration may not be necessary. Please contact your Agency Power User or your Grants Administrator to confirm if your agency and contact information already exists in GEMS. Creating duplicate agencies or contacts may cause errors. |
Potential Grant Applicants |
---|
If an agency is interested in applying to a solicitation but does not have current or recent grants with DHSS, DOH, or DFCS, the agency must register to create a new account in order to fully utilize the site. A myAlaska account is required to authenticate your identity. Please click Register to get started. |
Assistance, Technical or Otherwise |
---|
Please note, assistance is available only until 4:00 p.m. during normal State business days. If you are a current grantee, please contact the Grants Administrator indicated on your grant award. If you are not a grantee, please contact Zoe Olson, Grants Manager at zoe.olson@alaska.gov and she will be glad to help you. |
