Because of these many benefits that Grant Forward offers, service for InfoEd Global (AKA SPINSMARTS) has been discontinued. Users with existing SPINSMARTS accounts however, have automatically been created with Grant Forward accounts. If you had an existing account with InfoEd Global, you should have received an e-mail with credentials for accessing your new Grant Forward account.
If you did not have an InfoEd account, or simply wish to sign up for one, please go here. Start your funding search now!
OMB Combines Grants Management Circulars into One
The Council on Financial Assistance Reform and the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) officially published the “Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards” in the Federal Register.
OMB is trumpeting the new guidance, which combines the eight traditional OMB grants circulars into one overall policy guide. By streamlining eight federal regulations into a single, comprehensive policy guide, "the government can better administer more than $600 billion awarded annually for grants and other types of financial assistance by decreasing administrative burden for recipients and reducing the risk of waste, fraud and abuse.”
The implementation date of the combined circulars is December 26, 2014. The final guidance will be located in Title 2 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Chapter I, and Chapter II, Parts 200, 215, 220, 225, and 230.
