Consolidated grant application platform and resultant project tracking

Description

SimpliGov seems to present at least a common front end solution for consistent and adaptable receipt of a growing number of funding opportunities. This project seeks to explore that potential to empower CIER to convert all incoming applications to SimpliGov and to connect them for follow-on tracking of the status, progress and outcomes of the allocation of these funds.

Problem Statement

Currently there are dozens of entry points, interfaces, form types, shared emails and processes for managing the various sources of funds that can be applied for from DEP or that require DEP review. These are found here: https://www.nj.gov/dep/grantandloanprograms/ This is cumbersome for customers and does not allow DEP to compare or coordinate or track across all applications. There is also no coordinated tracking for the progress of resultant projects or their outcomes, all of which presents a tremendous learning opportunity.
