DOWNLOAD EBOOKGrants.gov was named as the central grant identification and application portal for federal grant programs in 2003. The Dept. of Health and Human Services (HHS) is its managing partner. As a result of funding and governance challenges -- such as untimely contributions, a lack of performance metrics, unclear lines of authority, and confusion over roles and responsibilities among Grants.gov's governance bodies -- that have adversely affected operations, this report examines: (1) key factors HHS should consider when proposing a funding model for Grants.gov; and (2) how the Grants.gov governance bodies could address Grants.gov's previously identified governance challenges. Charts and tables. This is a print on demand reort.
