The general news media is abuzz about the first funding rescission request that the Trump administration just sent Congress. Recission is cancellation of federal appropriations that Congress previously approved. It’s an actual budget cut. Federal law says that it can only be done after timely congressional approval.
The guy behind the administration’s request is Russell Vought, the director of the Office of Management and Budget. Vought says he is teeing up a collection of additional rescission requests while observing how this first one fairs. Mincing no words, Vought says he wants to put federal agency officials “in trauma” with recissions and other steps. The collateral damage these actions will have on grant recipients and subrecipients and the beneficiaries they serve is given little consideration.
Focusing on the current state of grant affairs in Washington, this briefing will help you fully understand the implications of actions that may specifically affect your current (and future) federal grants and decide how best to respond. The webinar will cover:
