GRANT Act
HR 7255, the GRANT Act, requires federal agencies that award discretionary or competitive grants to post specific information on their websites within one year of enactment. Agencies must provide clear details about each grant, including application deadlines, required documents, contact information, and technical assistance resources like webinars. The bill also mandates annual reports to Congress on grant recipients, values, and numbers, with agencies able to request a six-month extension for compliance if unforeseen issues arise. This law directly affects federal agencies managing grant programs and aims to improve transparency and accessibility for applicants seeking federal funding.
