Reports on the federal budget process that addresscurrent actions (e.g., the president's annual budget, congressional budget resolutions, appropriation bills, etc.), as well as ongoing budget concepts and trends.
These updates are issued weekly and provide states with information about recently announced competitive grant opportunities, including links to application materials.
FFIS produces semi-annual state-specific updates of about 200
actual and projected federal grant-in-aid program allocations. The
programs tracked by FFIS account for more than 95% of total federal
grant-in-aid spending. Updates are produced after the president's
budget is released in February and when Congress completes action on
the federal budget.
This series consists of two publications that combine timely state-by-state estimates with a focus on the largest and
most important federal grant-in-aid programs. The
first report reflects the impact of the president's proposed
budget and the second reflects the impact of
the enacted budget. The VIP Series is released within
a few days of presidential and congressional action.
The Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (www.cfda.gov) includes descriptions of the grant programs included inthe FFIS database, and describes the formulas used to determine grant amountsand any matching requirements.
Major Program Funding: The Jim Martin Table Jim Martin was a long-time director of state-federal relations for NGA. He asked FFIS to develop a one-sheet handout that would list the recent funding for a host of major grant programs. It has proved very popular over the years, and in the Hall of the States is simply referred to as The Jim Martin Table. This edition shows how states would fare under the FY 2010 budget relative to recent years.
