Calls for Grants Streamlining
by Amanda Adams*, 12/12/2008
The National Grants Partnership, (NGP) a coalition of government and nongovernment entities, released transition recommendations to improve the grants process. The NGP seeks to make agencies improve effectiveness of the use of grant funds and reduce burdens associated with grants administration. The document lays out three main recommendations. These include;
- Expand the use and functionality of Grants.gov. This includes combining USASpending.gov into Grants.gov.
- Consolidate and streamline the grants management structure.
- Involve and include stakeholder input.
