Between the fall of 2024 and the fall of 2025, all ProposalCentral records will be migrated to our new grants management system, Simons Award Manager (SAM). Affected grantees will be contacted 90 days before their records are imported into the new system with detailed instructions. If you do not receive an email by September 1, 2024, your records will not be imported in the first phase of the migration in fall 2024. We will keep all grantees updated about specific timelines for all imported records as the process progresses.
If you are applying to the Simons Foundation for the first time, please register in SAM before selecting “Apply now.”
If you have a ProposalCentral (pC ) account, a profile was created for you in SAM using the email address associated with your pC account. Please select “Forgot Password?,” set a new password for your SAM account and then select “Apply now.”
Applications and grants previously submitted in pC will still be managed in pC.
