Overview
The Grant Form Autofill feature is a Chrome browser extension that saves your responses to common grant application inquiries. You can then autofill form fields with these responses, eliminating the need to retype answers repeatedly. Additionally, you can save new responses, edit existing saved answers, and remove any unnecessary entries.
For the Grantee who frequently fills out forms, this feature saves time and ensures uniformity in applications.
