Dr. Farber,

As an IT Employee at a research institution who just finished working
to get my local Mac users up and running on the Pure Edge platform, I
can say, the process of getting it working was annoying - but it is
possible - grants.gov has made a Citrix server available for public use
for the application, has provided links to the Citrix web to allow people
to download the client, and has provided a Citrix profile which will
allow pretty much anyone to access the grants.gov citrix server.

The downside, however, was the the profile that was being distributed
on their website was (as of last week) incorrectly built, and had to be
edited (by myself, working with their support staff) to make it work.
I don't know if they've updated the profile available for download on the
website or not, fixing the profile is a matter of changing a singe line
in the .ica file in a text editor, and pointing the IE session that
loads up when you establish the Citrix connection to a different link.

I don't personally use the application, but I have seen it at least load
in a Citrix session on a Mac.  That being the case, and assuming that the
PureEdge application itself is functional, there's no particular reason to
assume it won't work under Citrix.
