10.10: Grants

Make better grants through transparency and collaboration.

Other Information:

In his Memorandum on Open Government the President specifically emphasized the need for greater transparency into the expenditure of federal funds. In this spirit, we have launched a Grants Map to advance the level of transparency on all grant awards: both formula and competitive. The map displays aggregate totals by agency and by state for grant awards made in program year 2009 and fiscal year 2010 and offers the public – for the first time – a unified gateway to access all DOL grant award information. In addition to promoting greater accountability within our grants, this is the first step in a larger plan to engage the public through a more collaborative grant making process.
