Streamlining Federal Grants Act of 2026

This bill would require each federal agency to name a senior official in charge of grant policy and would create a Grants Council led by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB). The council would help agencies set common data standards, simplify funding notices, and set rules against conflicts of interest in awarding grants. Agencies would have to write plans to simplify grant applications and reporting, publish those plans for public comment, and report on progress each year. OMB would also study and improve the Grants.gov website, and the Government Accountability Office would report on barriers to getting grants and evaluate the law after five years.
