CREATIVE WRITING FELLOWSHIPS: Need Help?

We have fielded many questions over the years and can help you troubleshoot any problems you encounter. We are at your service.

Read these FAQs before you contact our staff.

You should also determine if your question is best addressed to the NEA, or Login.gov or Grants.gov. Login.gov and Grants.gov are government-wide portals; they are separate entities from the NEA. Though we include some tips here on navigating Login.gov and Grants.gov, most technical questions about registration and uploading your application should be directed to Login.gov or Grants.gov.

Contact Login.gov for help with:

  • Registration problems with Login.gov
  • Login or username/password issues

Login.gov Help: Consult the information posted in their Help Center, or use their online form to submit a question.

Contact Grants.gov for help with:

  • Registration problems
  • Your registration status
  • Verifying and/or updating your registration information
  • Technology related problems including:
    • Web browser issues
    • Questions about Workspace, webforms, or Adobe Reader
    • Problems submitting your application through Grants.gov

The Grants.gov Contact Center is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week at 1-800-518-4726 or support@grants.gov. The website is www.grants.gov.
