Increased Transparency in Public Grant Awards
New law enhances transparency in the public grant application process. Government agencies must now clearly define application evaluation rules, making it easier for citizens and organizations to understand how beneficiaries are selected. This means anyone applying for funds will have better insight into the criteria determining the award of support.
Key points
All funding opportunity notices must include a detailed description of the rating system and selection criteria for applications.
Agencies must disclose whether they use weighted scoring methods and how they weight individual criteria.
Data collection on the number of applications received and the city and state of submitting organizations is required, increasing overall process transparency.
