Grantium

 OPM CJPPD Grantium General Overview Page

Grantium is OPM CJPPD’s online Grants Management System. Grantium helps streamline all grant processes into one single database.

Application and creation of grant profile:
The applicant will send all application documents (coversheet, narrative, and budget) to the OPM’s grant administrator. OPM will then review such documents and approve the application, request changes, or deny the application. Upon approval, the application materials will be uploaded into Grantium. For new sub-recipients, OPM CJPPD’s Associate Accountant will provide the programmatic point of contact and the financial point of contact with an overview of Grantium and will be available to answer any questions.

Cash requests:
Once the user profile and grant profile is created in Grantium, sub recipients will be able to utilize Grantium to track expenditures and request cash. Within the “Assigned Submissions” tab, the user can generate a cash request. OPM will review the cash request, and funds will be distributed. Please see OPM CJPPD’s Guidelines for approval of Cash Requests for further guidelines on how OPM CJPPD approves requests.

Financial and Progress Reports:
As mentioned in the “Reporting Requirements” tab, sub recipients are expected to produce quarterly financial and progress reports, due 15 days after the end of the quarter. Financial reports, also known in Grantium as “Quarterly Expenditure Reports,” are to be submitted via the Grantium system. Sub recipients must spend within their approved budget categories. In order to spend differently than previously indicated in the application documents, sub recipients must submit an amended budget; amended budgets must be submitted and approved before sub recipients can spend differently. Upon request of OPM CJPPD, sub recipients may also be required to submit “Back Up Documentation,” such as timesheets, receipts, invoices, and proof of contracts.
 
OPM CJPPD also collects quarterly programmatic progress reports. Sub recipients are asked to first send these reports to VAWAReports@ct.gov within 15 days of the end of the quarter. The OPM grant administrator will then review these reports and upon approval, upload them into Grantium on behalf of the sub grantee.

Delays in submitting financial or progress reports may delay approval of cash requests.
