As I do research on US grants. Here is some information found on how or why grants are brought and what to do. Remember, you go to https://www.grants.gov to find a grant for you or your organization.
Grants Policy
Grants.gov was born as a governmental resource named the E-Grants Initiative, part of the President’s 2002 Fiscal Year Management Agenda to improve government services to the public:
"Agencies will allow applicants for Federal Grants to apply for and ultimately manage grant funds online through a common web site, simplifying grants management and eliminating redundancies."
The concept has its origins in the Federal Financial Assistance Management Improvement Act of 1999, also known as Public Law 106-107. P.L. 106-107 was enacted in November of that year and the purposes are to:
- Improve the effectiveness and performance of Federal financial assistance programs.
- Simplify Federal assistance application and reporting requirements.
- Improve the delivery of services to the public.
- Facilitate greater coordination among those responsible for delivering the services.
The 26 Federal agencies that award grants and cooperative agreements are actively implementing P.L. 106-107 through interagency work groups, developing common data elements, electronic processes and uniform administrative rules across agencies.
