# Set up a grant program in Grants Management

Set up and configure the details of a new grant program using Grants Management.

1.  [Create a Grants Program results letter template](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/government-industry/psds-config-gmp-configure-results-template.md)  
As an agent or Grants Program manager, you can use templates to compose letters informing applicants of the result, choosing from Award, Rejection \(ineligible\), and Rejection \(decline\). These letters are displayed to applicants on the Grants Management Portal, once a decision has been communicated.
2.  [Configure the Merit Review Scoring Framework for a Grant Program in the Reviewer Service Portal](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/government-industry/psds-config-gmp-scoring-framework.md)  
Define the scoring framework that a merit reviewer should follow as they review and score grant program proposals in the Reviewer Service portal. You can also select which knowledge bases or frameworks are displayed to a merit reviewer in the Reviewer Service portal.
3.  [Configure budget categories in Grants Management](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/government-industry/psds-config-gmp-budget-cat.md)  
Configure the budget categories that appear in the Program budget activity of the playbook.

Use script includes to configure the **Spending Overview** widget and filter pills on the **Funding Allocation** tab for the rolling grant approvals feature. Admins can add, remove, relabel, and reorder chart widgets and filter pills, and create custom ones to match program requirements.
8.  [Configure program lifecycle stepper](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/government-industry/psds-config-gmp-pgr-lifecycle-stepper.md)  
Control the visibility of the program lifecycle stepper on the Grant Program record page. The stepper is turned off by default and can be enabled at the instance level for deployments that follow a batch or competitive grant lifecycle.
