Just got this through the NGP:

Did you say goodbye too early?

On June 19, 2007, the Grants Policy Committee held a successful Webcast. The subject of the Webcast was grant life cycle changes: data and reporting requirements and impacts on awardee and federal communities, policies, and planning.

The production crew inadvertently informed the viewers that the webcast had ended prematurely before the QUESTION & ANSWER period. Examples of questions you missed:

• With respect to the new proposed standard reporting formats, what is the approximate timeframe that is expected for final roll out of these forms? And, is there a target date that grantees should anticipate the requirement to use these new forms?
• How can my institution participate in the subaward pilot
• Regarding FFATA, I was informed that the intent is to pull acquisition data from FPDS-NG. Is the same intent to pull grants data from FAADS? When will FAAS be web-based?

If you missed the webcast or the Q&A period that followed, all you have to do is click here: http://www.hud.gov/webcasts/archives/grantees.cfm

We need your feedback!!

While the production team has estimated over a thousand viewers, we only had 7 feedback forms completed. We desperately need more forms in order for our work to be based on statistically relevant data.

Or, if you prefer you can print out the attached form and fax it to me (Charisse Carney-Nunes) at 703.292.9255
