1. [Configure pre-eligibility questions in Grants Management](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/iCNJ57LsVwODXX_nNv~ZCw)  
   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://www.servicenow.com/docs/qrqBQKoQ7PpzLDDPWg22gw)  
   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://www.servicenow.com/docs/7S~1Q5c7eGNIwYuC96aBUw)  
   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://www.servicenow.com/docs/6sWupT2pKAbE8Dm7vDGd0g)
