Grant Portfolio The Grant Portfolio is the list of HRSA grants to which a user has access through the EHBs. After registering a user account in the EHBs, the user must find their grant and add it to the Grant Portfolio.

Grant Portfolio If a grantee organization has multiple HRSA grants, a user may add one or more of these grants to their portfolio. The Project Director must register and explicitly assign permission before you can work on non-financial reports. The Financial Reporting Administrator (FRA) must register and assign permission before you can work on the Federal Financial Report (FFR).
