The GRANT Act requires federal agencies that award discretionary or competitive grants to create and prominently display a dedicated webpage on their websites that provides comprehensive information about available grants. This webpage must include descriptions of each grant program, application requirements and deadlines, technical assistance resources like tutorials and webinars, and contact information for applicants. Agencies have one year from the law's enactment to comply with this requirement, though they can request a six-month extension if unforeseen circumstances prevent timely compliance. The law also requires agencies to submit compliance certifications to Congress within six months and to submit annual reports detailing the number, total value, and recipients of discretionary and competitive grants awarded through the new webpage. The legislation aims to make federal grant opportunities more transparent and accessible to potential applicants by centralizing grant information in one easily discoverable location on agency websites.
