Description
The Receive Application for Extramural Funding models illustrate the grants business processes that occur at the NIH during the receipt of a grant application. The models are organized into three states:
- As-Is: The models in this section are current state business processes.
- To-Be: The models in this section are the desired future state business processes.
- Transition Plan: The models in this section specify the business processes necessary to transition from current state to future state.
Each section contains a WHAT model and a HOW model. The WHAT model lists the business activities that must occur in order for the NIH to receive a grant application. The WHAT model is presented in a hierarchical format in which the children support the parent activities. The HOW model integrates all dimensions (What, Which, Who, Where, When) into a single comprehensive model of how grant applications (both paper and electronic) are received and processed by the NIH. The HOW model captures the sequence of the activities, the dependencies between the activities, and the flow of information from one activity to another.
