What's New In Grant Community
November, 2000
The
Grant Community Website includes a number of information
sources for grant managers along with information that
will be useful to those considering applying for Federal
grants. The following items will be helpful:
- Federal Program Descriptions. This
section contains a thumbnail sketch of the nature
and application requirements for the more than 1,400
Federal grant and financial assistance programs. The
program descriptions can be viewed by the type of
program, the target audience which benefits from the
program or the Department or agency that administers
it.

covers the various types of reviews conducted by the
General Accounting office. The reviews range from
administrative reviews of whole classes of programs

from other State agencies.

site also contains a number of program reference materials
such as a general guide to government programs along
with detailed program analyses conducted by the Congressional
Budget Office.

detailed information concerning the total categories
of Federal Financial assistance (grants, Federal payrolls,
