GAO Issues ARRA Application Recommendations
A new report by the U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) - the first of two commissioned by Congress to address Grants.gov overload expected to last through August 2009-recommends that the government do more to inform applicants about alternatives to submitting via Grants.gov. GAO suggests that Recovery.gov and federal agencies begin posting prominent notices (similar to the one posted recently by Grants.gov) about application options and guidance for what to do if they try to submit through Grants.gov but aren't able to. The recommendations are aimed at ensuring that every grant application submitted under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) receives equal consideration. View additional details online.
