Industry Insights and Looking Ahead:
In the world of grant writing, it’s easy to get caught up in the intricacies of proposal preparation and the technical details of the funding process. But behind many successful grant applications is a vital role: the agency liaison. This position serves as the bridge between an organization and its funding sources, helping to ensure that grant proposals are well-aligned with funders' expectations and that the organization’s needs and goals are effectively communicated.
Grant Management Associates (GMA) believes it's crucial to inform our clients about the recent changes in the U.S. Department of Transportation's (DOT) approach to grant funding. The new DOT order, effective as of February 11, 2025, introduces significant shifts in priorities and requirements for grant recipients.
