New
One-Stop Website for
Federal Grant Programs
A single, comprehensive Web site that will contain
information about finding and applying for all federal
grant programs has been recently unveiled, by HHS Secretary
Tommy Thompson.
The Web site, Grants.gov, makes it easier for organizations
to learn about and apply for federal grants. The web
site now has information about more than 800 available
grant programs involving all 26 federal grant-making
agencies. and includes a "Find Grant Opportunities" feature
to help applicants find potential funding opportunities.
The site also contains an "Apply for Grants" feature
that greatly simplifies the application process by
allowing applicants to download, complete and submit
applications for specific grant opportunities from
any federal grant-making agency.
Grants.gov is a collaborative effort involving HHS
and the Departments of Agriculture, Commerce, Defense,
Education, Homeland Security, Housing and Urban Development,
Justice, Labor and Transportation, as well as the National
Science Foundation.
