After spending much of the fall focusing on healthcare, Congress finally is turning its attention to finalizing the FY 2010 budget.
FAM continuously is querying congressional members and federal agencies for updates on the budget and its impact on FY 2010 grant making.
The current consensus is that an omnibus is the best FY 2010 funding vehicle and grant making will begin in earnest in February. For the FAM story on the current situation, please visit http://www.grantsandfunding.net/fam/5835.
