The Czech Science Foundation (GACR) has developed a new application for the administration of grant projects, GRITA – Grant Information and Tracking Application. Thanks to the latest technologies, this modern platform will deliver faster loading, enhanced cybersecurity, automated data retrieval, delegation of authority, and much more. It is available at grita.gov.cz.
“GRITA will not only ensure the complete administration of grant projects, but will also streamline the evaluation of thousands of Project Proposals submitted each year to GACR tenders,” says GACR President, Prof. Milan Jirsa. “The application builds on the GRIS system and is based on its principles, so current project investigators and applicants will also find it easy to use.”
The new features introduced by GRITA include:
- Easier navigation
- Automatic saving of changes
- Notifications of errors in the Project Proposal
- Submission of a project without using a data box
- Communication with GACR
- Advanced collaboration among multiple users
- Simpler and more secure login
- Retrieval of data from public administration registers
- User roles and new authorities/powers
- Enhanced cybersecurity
- Faster response time
- Responsiveness

The system will be rolled out gradually. The first tenders to be announced in the system by GACR at the beginning of March are EXPRO and JUNIOR STAR.
! If you plan to submit a Project Proposal this year to the EXPRO or JUNIOR STAR tenders, it is essential that your organisation send a Power of Attorney to GACR in due time if its governing body intends to delegate authority to other employees.
The development of the new information system was financed by the European Union – Next Generation EU, under the National Recovery Plan.
