If others of you are having troubles with the links in the grants  
notice message, it is undoubtedly because they are so long and have  
automatically wrapped themselves in the text by placing hard returns  
at the end of the lines. You can paste each line of the URL into your  
browser address line separately and make sure you have removed those  
hard returns at the end of each line. That should work.
