With the ALN format changing to include alpha characters in the 5-digit ALN code, we are trying to test and confirm the ability to support system-to-system submission and search. However, I am unable to locate any opportunities in the simpler.grants.gov Training environment that have such an ALN. Are there or will there be test opportunities made available to test this change?
My searching has been frustrated by the fact that the new Simpler search capabilities don’t make the ALN easily visible or accessible until you click to get into the details for each opportunity. In my experience, users most frequently use the funding opportunity code to search but sometimes want to search and see ALN as well to confirm the opportunity is correct.
