Streamlining Federal Grants Act of 2023
The Streamlining Federal Grants Act of 2023 requires federal agencies to simplify grant application and reporting processes, with a focus on helping communities and organizations that historically haven't received federal grants. It establishes a Grants Council to coordinate across agencies and mandates each agency to develop public plans for streamlining grant programs, including using plain language and providing training resources. Agencies must consult with non-Federal entities during plan development, publish plans for public comment, and submit annual reports on progress to Congress. The bill also requires a study of Grants.gov's accessibility and an evaluation of the law's effectiveness after five years. These changes aim to improve service delivery while reducing administrative burdens for both agencies and grant recipients.
