On October 15th, 2020, the Department of Justice will be transitioning to a new grants management system called JustGrants as well as a grants payment system known as the Automated Standard Application for Payments, or ASAP.

In this episode, Lauren Nassikas, the Associate Director for the Legal Assistance for Victims and the Justice for Families programs at OVW, describes the transition experience for grantees as they prepare to adopt the new system. She is joined by Maria Swineford, the Business Manager for JustGrants at the Office of Justice Programs.
