Welcome to the Nutrition Gateway Dashboard and Portal
The Michigan Department of Education Nutrition Gateway provides Child Nutrition Program (CNP) agencies a singular system to access annual CNP applications (MEGSplus), monthly claims (MIND) and periodic administrative reviews (GEMS/MARS) through an integrated dashboard and portal.
Access to the Gateway is available for any user who has access to one or more of the following systems:
- Michigan Electronic Grants System (MEGSplus)
- Michigan Nutrition Data System (MIND)
- Grants Electronic Monitoring System/Michigan Administrative Review System (GEMS/MARS)
Proceed to login with your MEIS Login and Password.
Access to the Gateway
The Gateway does not require a separate Security Authorization form. Any user who has access to MEGSplus, MIND or GEMS/MARS automatically have access to the Gateway. The Gateway further delegates the access authorization to those systems after logging on. You are not be required to login individually in those systems. However, you may continue to access those systems individually if you wish to do so.
