S. 2260 would require federal agencies to disclose their selection methods for awarding competitive grants to grant applicants. The agencies would be directed to list their rating systems, evaluation and selection criteria, weighted-scoring methods, and other quantitative or qualitative approaches used to assess grant applications. Using information from federal grant databases, CBO estimates that the administrative costs associated with providing that information would not be significant; any spending would be subject to the availability of appropriated funds.
