The Online Data Collection (OLDC) system is a convenient electronic method for submitting grant forms to HHS. Grant partners can use the Internet to manage grant information through OLDC. Customers can enter data, validate the data, certify, and submit report forms over the Internet depending on permissions given.
Benefits of using OLDC include:
Forms may be submitted up to the day they are due. This is especially advantageous as report receipt is no longer dependent on the postal service.
Grant partners may enter and retrieve information pertinent to their grants through electronic forms closely resembling the paper HHS forms.
New forms and form modifications can be made continuously without releasing a new version of the software.
Report Form auto calculations and policy driven mathematical checks reduce possible errors before the Report Form is submitted to HHS.
