OMB Watch, the Urban Institute and GuideStar are co-sponsoring the Streamlining Grants Management Project to give nonprofits input into how the federal government streamlines its grant application and reporting process. The Federal Financial Assistance Management Improvement Act of 1999 requires federal agencies to create a uniform process. The agencies are working on common information standards, consolidating forms and making the entire process available online. Below you will find information on what is being proposed and mechanisms for getting updates and submitting your comments.
