Another Uniform Grant Guidance fun fact - starting on October 1, there will be a concerted effort to have a standard NOFO template for all grant opportunities across agencies. Can you see that? Easier guidance to follow without the jargon, and perhaps fewer pages?! Can I get an Amen!

And they said it couldn't be done! But a public list of (almost) all federal programs finally exists! https://fpi.omb.gov Our friend Jared Serbu at Federal News Network reports this has been in the works for 13 years. But Robert Shea and Adam Hughes know it's been a holy grail of government performance and transparency advocates for long before that. In fact, the requirement to create a complete program inventory was in early drafts of the Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act of 2006 (we see you Ian H. Solomon and Sean Davis! And you too Gary Bass and Sean Moulton). Kudos to the Office of Management and Budget for finally making it happen. Seriously - this is pretty exciting news! And not just for performance nerds. It has major ramifications for federal program staff, congressional staff, and advocacy groups. Ultimately, it is a foundational piece to creating an even better, richer understanding of federal program performance and outcomes. And we're one step closer to the actual holy grail of government management: being able to track from Congressional appropriation to agency program outcomes; to actually understand how much of a difference the money that we collectively decide to spend is having.
