Key Points
The bill aims to require transparency in notices of funding opportunity for competitive grants.
It defines terms such as "agency," "competitive grant," "evaluation or selection criteria," "notice of funding opportunity," and "rating system."
The bill requires that notices of funding opportunity include a description of the rating system and evaluation and selection criteria used by the agency, whether the agency uses a weighted scoring method, and any other merit-based approach used to evaluate applications for the competitive grant.
