# Configure PaCE Eligibility Framework Engine for use with Grants Management

Configure the eligibility framework engine, powered by PaCE, to allow agents to confirm whether an applicant is eligible for the specific grant being requested.

1.  [Configure pre-eligibility questions in Grants Management](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/government-industry/psds-config-gmp-config-pre-eligibility.md)  
The Grants Management Program Setup enables grant program managers to use decision trees to define a series of pre-eligibility questions to check if the applicants qualify for the program.
2.  [Configure Eligibility Rules Engine Policies in Grants Management](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/government-industry/psds-config-gmp-eligibility.md)  
Use the Grants Management Eligibility Rules Engine, powered by Policy as Code Engine \(PaCE\), to manage the life cycle of a policy and create, update, review, and execute policies.
3.  [Configure PaCE Restricted Caller Access Privileges \(RCA\)](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/government-industry/psds-config-gmp-rca.md)  
Define cross-scope access to an application, application resource \(such as an access control role, a business rule, a UI action, or a script include\), or event. You can use a requested RCA to grant store apps access to protected resources in the ServiceNow AI Platform.
4.  [Configure the Smart Assessment Engine for Grants Management](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/government-industry/psds-config-gmp-smart-assessment-engine.md)  
Create a new Smart Assessment template, which would show up in the compliance assessment field in the proposal playbook. The Smart assessment template is used to collect compliance information from applicants during proposal submission.
