WEBSITE OFFERS EASIER ACCESS TO GOVERNMENT GRANTS
Grants.gov (www.grants.gov) is a new website intended to simplify the
process of identifying and applying for government grants. The
interagency project was headed by the Department of Health and Human
Services (HHS), which awards more than half of all federal grants. HHS
Secretary Tommy Thompson said the government is helping to level the
playing field for organizations less familiar with federal grant
programs by putting relevant information in one place. Grants.gov
provides information on more than 800 available grant programs involving
all 26 federal grant-making agencies that award more than $360 billion
in grant funds annually. So far, only the Departments of Education,
Energy, Justice and Health and Human Services have posted application
packages to Grants.gov. The site uses a standardized format across
agencies and includes a Find Grant Opportunities feature to help
applicants find potential funding opportunities. The Apply for Grants
section simplifies the application process by letting applicants
download, complete and submit applications for specific grant
opportunities from any federal grant-making agency.
