1 Introduction
The Portfolio Analysis and Management System (PAMS) allows Department of Energy (DOE), Office of Science (SC) applicants and awardees to access and manage their Submissions and Awards in a single system. To create or access PAMS or Grants.gov Submissions (Letters of Intent (LOIs), Preproposals, or Proposals) or to access or request modifications to Award information, a user must have an external user account.
As a PAMS user, you should never have multiple PAMS accounts, and you should never share your username or password with other users or allow them to access your account.
The purpose of this document is to provide step-by-step instructions for users to follow to create and update an external PAMS account.
OCGA doesn’t create PAMS accounts.
