Nothing speaks more to Grants.gov's contributions and impact than the public acknowledgment of its accomplishments from organizations across the grant community, from associations and technology peers to the Federal government. Recent Grants.gov honors and awards include:

Government Computer News Agency Awards
Awarded: September 8, 2004
Government Computer News (GCN) honors ten government agencies each year for innovative information technology (IT) accomplishments.

Chosen out of field of 116 entries, HHS is one of the ten government agencies honored for its innovative IT accomplishments in streamlining the Federal grants management process of finding and applying for grants through one unified cross-agency website. As a trend-setting government IT project, Grants.gov was selected for demonstrating a record of excellence in furthering the aim of electronic government by providing substantial improvement in government-to-citizen, government-to-business, or government-to-government transactions, services, or processes.

NGMA Grant Community Recognition
Awarded: April 28, 2004

The mission of the National Grants Management Association (NGMA) Awards Committee is to identify and recognize the accomplishments of individuals and groups of individuals who have made a significant contribution to the body of knowledge, professionalism, policies, or operations in the Federal grants administration. This year, the NGMA added a new award category, Electronic Solutions, to honor an organization, which has made a substantial contribution to the automated system(s) of one or more Federal agencies or Non-Federal organization(s) which has had a significant and demonstrated beneficial impact on the operations and/or performance of the organization.

The NGMA presented its first annual Electronic Solutions award to Grants.gov in April, noting that the site offers inspiration by developing a simple, unified electronic storefront for interactions between grant applicants and Federal agencies that manage grant funds.

FOSE Showcase of Excellence Award
Awarded: March 24, 2004

Each year the Federal Leadership Council's Showcase of Excellence (FOSE) presents a showcase of Federal government IT projects representing the finest implementations of citizen-centric electronic government. From the IT programs nominated to the CFO Council, Federal Acquisition Council and the Chief Human Capital Officers Council for consideration, ten are selected to demonstrate their program in the CIO Council Showcase of Excellence booth. Two are then chosen by the Federal Leadership Council Executive Committee to receive that year's Showcase of Excellence Award.

Grants.gov was named as one of two Showcase of Excellence E-Government winners by FOSE. The site was highlighted at their annual conference in March as an example of the finest implementations of citizen-centric electronic government.
