E-Grants Unveiled
WHO:  Organizations interested in federal funding.
WHAT: www.grants.gov. A single comprehensive Web site that will contain
information about finding and applying for all federal grant programs.
Grants.gov is a key element of President Bush's E-Gov Initiative,
which aims at harnessing Internet-based technology to make it easy for
citizens and businesses to interact with the government, save taxpayer
dollars and streamline citizen-to-government communications. The Web
site now has information about  more than 800 available grant programs
involving all 26 federal grant-making agencies.  The site provides
information in a standardized format across the agencies and includes a
"Federal Grant Opportunities" feature to help applicants find potential
funding opportunities.  The site also contains an "Apply for Grants"
feature that greatly simplifies the application process by allowing
applicants to download, complete, and submit applications for specific
grant opportunities from any federal grant-making agency.
CONTACT: Head to the Web site at www.grants.gov. For the complete press
