Filter: Enter text in the Filter box to quickly find any grant record in your portfolio. Enter partial or complete PI name or grant number and the system will only display the grant records that match the filter text. Filtering looks for matches throughout the portfolio, including the fields in the Summary View, even when the Summary Views are closed — See Summary View for more information.

NOTE: You can enter multiple words, letter strings and/or number strings to narrow the search. Multiple search elements will be combined into an "AND" search statement. Filtering is most successful if you enter a distinctive word or string of letters or numbers. Filtering for short or common words will probably yield too many hits.
