eGMS podcast is here!
The podcast (available along with slides on the WDE Resources page under 2025 STAR Conference) was created based on the 2025 STAR eGMS presentation. 

Listening to the podcast while working with slides, you will get a chance to refresh your knowledge on the following topics: working with SAM ID Verification, User Change Form, and grant-specific application supplements; grant budgeting (incl. competitive vs entitlement); creating and submitting cash requests; interpreting and addressing most common validation errors; workflows for applications, app supplements and cash requests; ways to communicate with the WDE within the system; and accessing available resources.
