As you continue to adjust your schedule and update your tasks list, you'll definitely want to stay organized by tracking responses to your funding requests.
Once you hear back from a funder about a grant application you've submitted, you can update the grant's status accordingly and record the response in your Tracker.
Response Statuses
After you've received a notification from a funder about an application you've submitted, you can move a grant to an Awarded or Declined Status:
Awarded - Active: For grants you’ve won that still require ongoing action, such as report submissions or other deliverables.
Awarded - Closed: For grants that have been successfully completed with no outstanding tasks or reports.
Declined: For opportunities to which you have applied and not been awarded.

Recording funder response data
Locate the grant in question on your Tracker.
Open the Status selection dropdown either directly from the Tracker view, or after you've clicked into the grant page.
Update the Status from Application Submitted to Awarded or Declined, depending on the funder's response to your submission.
Awarded
Once you move your grant to "Awarded - Active" or "Awarded - Closed", you'll see the option to enter the following award information:
Date Notified/Notification date: Add an official "Notification date" so you can accurately record the date notified. Entering the Notification date will not override any data captured separately in your "Expected Notification Date" field.
Amount awarded: Enter the amount awarded for that grant. If you did not already fill out the original amount requested, you can still do so to populate as much post-award reporting data as desired.
If you're updating the status directly from the tracker, a pop-up will prompt you to fill in response data immediately after changing the status to Awarded:
You can always record funder responses and make ongoing updates by clicking into the grant page itself instead:
Declined
Once you move an a grant's Status to Declined, you'll have the option to record the Date Notified/Notification date.
If you did not enter other details previously, such as "Amount Requested", you may still do so.
After all information has been entered, either hit Save when recording directly from the Tracker, or click Done at the bottom right hand corner of the grant page. Your funder response has been recorded.
If you've won a grant, it's time to move into post-award management!
If you were not accepted this time around, recording the funder response and ensuring you've filled out relevant fields still makes it easy to track metrics.
As you keep track of dates, awards, and adjust your tasks and deadlines accordingly, you'll also want to fill out as many relevant date & monetary fields to generate accurate reporting, whether in your Awards tab, in your Opportunity or Awards Reports, or on your Grant Performance Dashboard.
If you'd like to record other types of funder response information, consider using Custom Fields to populate your own unique data fields!
