Maximize the value of grant funding by applying a risk-based, data-driven framework that balances compliance requirements with demonstrating successful results for the American taxpayer.
The Federal government uses grants to invest approximately $700 billion each year in mission-critical needs for American taxpayers, but managers report spending 40% of their time using antiquated processes to monitor compliance instead of analyzing data to improve results.
Standardize the grants management business process and identify, open, standardize, and link data. Use standard business process and data to establish a robust marketplace of modern solutions that ease burden and drive efficiencies, respond to customer needs, and deliver on mission. Leverage data, including data produced by annual audits, to assess and manage recipient risk. Hold recipients accountable for good performance practices that support achievement of program goals and objectives and streamline burdensome compliance requirements for those that demonstrate results.
