2.4: Projects
Other Information:
Projects are where the rubber hits the road. These are the organizational vehicles the government uses to enter into contracts
and create other obligations that deliver on government services. Some project information gets published, but the publication
is so bad that we give this area a low grade indeed. Information about projects can be found. You can search for projects
by name on USASpending.gov, and descriptions of projects appear in USASpending/FAADS downloads, ("FAADS" is the Federal Assistance
Award Data System), but there is no canonical list of projects that we could find. There should be, and there should have
been for a long time now. The generosity and patience we showed in earlier grading with respect to agencies, budgets, and
programs has run out. There's more than nothing here, but projects, so essential to have complete information about, gets
an F.
