  1. NGP White Paper Series Committee Update January 23, 2007 Presenting on behalf of the WPSC: Kathleen Juza, Bearing Point

  2. Current Topic Use of Standards in Grants Management • “Real World Applications of Grants Management Business, Data, and Technical Standards” • Grants streamlining demands standardization of business processes, technologies, and data elements throughout the grants enterprise. • Adopting standards decreases data redundancy, condenses stovepipes, and reduces duplicative work. • As the GMLOB moves forward, development of standards will become more acute.

  3. Objectives of WP#3 • Explore the need for and development of grants management standards • Demonstrate how standards are being applied today • Explore how standards might be created and implemented in the future • Prepare government grant-makers and grant recipients for changes wrought by GMLOB • Relate grants streamlining to the need for business, data, and technical standards • Encourage conversation among all grants enterprise stakeholders

  4. Progress to Date • Completed survey of NGP members to gather initial empirical data • Developed initial draft interview questions • Distributed interview assignments

  5. Next Steps • Finalize interview questions: Purpose of interview questions is to focus interviews on common themes around which the paper will be developed. • Conduct Interviews: During the initial survey, several grants management professionals volunteered to participate in interviews with whitepaper committee members regarding their use of grants management standards • By conducting interviews, hope to discover more about the prevalence (or lack) of standards in the grants enterprise • Basis for paper outline and future work on the paper • Develop detailed outline and make writing assignments • This will involve a brainstorming session upon completion of the interviews to outline the paper • Assign whitepaper sections to specific reviewers

  6. Next Steps • Solicit more volunteers! For all of these roles, we are seeking volunteers involved in some way in designing or implementing grants management data standards. • WP Lead: Formerly Gretchen Greiner, Government of the District of Columbia • Project Lead: Responsible for project coordination and direction • Authors: Responsible for conducting interviews and writing sections of the paper • We have currently had expressions of interest from: AK, DC, IN, MI, MS, OK, PA, TX, TN, as well as representatives from Federal Government, Tribal, Faith-based and Non-profit organizations. • Reviewers: Responsible for reviewing the drafts at key stages in the papers development • Editors: Responsible for final revisions and proofing • If interested, please contact the co-chairs: • Dave Cassidy, TCG (202-742-8471 / david.cassidy@tcg.com) • Kathleen Juza, BearingPoint (kathleen.juza@bearingpoint.com)
