External Forms

TRAM, an erstwhile collection of agency forms that was maintained by the Texas Research Administrators Group, has been discontinued since the advent of Grants.gov, the federal government's online source for finding and applying for Federal government grants.

Grants.gov, a Web site maintained by the Federal government, is designed to allow users to find and apply for more than 1,000 grant programs offered by all Federal grant-making agencies. SPA can help faculty and staff with questions about Grants.gov and with funding searches including all sources, public and private.

** These are PDF forms users can fill out and save, provided their computer has a licensed copy of Adobe Acrobat Standard or Professional. (The free Adobe Reader allows you to view and print the document but will not allow you to save data.)

Versions 6.0 and 7.0 (standard and professional) can be saved directly from most browsers.

If you have an older version of Adobe Acrobat writer (5.0 or 4.0 standard) or have difficulty saving the file, try the following:

  1. Do NOT open the file in your internet browser window.
  2. Right click on the link.
  3. Choose "Save Target As" (for Internet Explorer) or "Save Link As" (for Mozilla Firefox and Netscape Navigator).
  4. Select location on your computer ("Save In") such as the Desktop and name the file.
  5. You will not have the "Save As" option in Acrobat, but you will have the ability to "Save". To avoid writing over the original file, you can:
    1. Make a copy of the file.
    2. Rename the copy.
    3. Open the renamed file in Adobe Acrobat, then begin filling out the form.
    4. Then save the form (File > Save)
