Research firm Input said it will begin offering information on $54 billion in annual federal grants, including $11 billion specifically available for higher education. As part of the Bush administration's E-Government Strategy, federal officials are developing a Web site, grants.gov, to act as a clearinghouse for information about all federal grant programs. Officials from Input said, however, that even when finished, the grant.gov site will leave certain gaps that the company will try to fill. Information Input expects to provide includes data concerning the connection of grant funding and overall federal program funding; a tracking tool to follow funds as they work through the various steps in a grant program; and detailed contact information for federal grant programs.
