Got this from the Grants Policy Committee, as a reminder for the June 19 webcast: 

The Grants Policy Committee (GPC) continues to lead federal grant management and administration streamlining activities. The next GPC Stakeholder Webcast & Meeting will be held on Tuesday, June 19, 2007 from 2:00 – 3:30pm. Please disseminate this information widely to your federal grants stakeholder networks. 

• The subject of the Webcast will be new legislation affecting grant life cycle changes, data and reporting requirements, and awardee and federal communities, policies, and planning.
• Webcast goals are to: 1) To raise awareness in the stakeholder community about new legislation concerning transparency and accountability and the effects it will have on stakeholder federal assistance funding cycle, data and reporting requirements, policies and planning; and 2) to receive input from stakeholders to assist the GPC in drafting a strategic plan to set priorities and inform its continued streamlining activities.
