Ep 11: Federal Grant Pro Explains Proposed Changes: The Anti-DEI Memo & Executive Order

In this episode of Federal Grants Explained, I break down two critical documents that will likely impact every single federal grant applicant and recipient. This is essential viewing for recipients of federal funding. Stay informed and protect your organization. We provide a deep dive into: -----The White House's Executive Order on Grant Oversight (Aug 7, 2025): How "agency priorities and the national interest" will now dictate funding announcements, scoring, and even allow grants to be terminated for convenience. ------The DOJ's Anti-Discrimination Guidance Memo (July 29, 2025): Why the Justice Department now considers many DEI programs "unlawful discrimination" and how this could lead to False Claims Act lawsuits and revoked funding. Learn what these changes mean for: • Indirect Cost Rates (NICRA) • Application scoring rubrics • "Defend the Spend" drawdown justifications • Termination for convenience clauses • Your existing grants and subawards #podcast #federalgrants #federal #federalfunding #compliance #compliancetips #compliancenerds #governmentgrants #governmentfunding PAST EPISODES MENTIONED IN THIS VIDEO: Ex-Federal Employee Shares His Story: A Behind-the-Scenes Look at HHS Downsizing:    • Ep 10: A Behind-the-Scenes Look at HHS Dow...   RESOURCES: https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/justic... https://www.justice.gov/ag/media/1409... https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidenti... https://bidenwhitehouse.archives.gov/... https://bidenwhitehouse.archives.gov/... https://www.foley.com/insights/public... ABOUT ME: I’m the founder and CEO of Grants Works and the lead trainer for Grants Works Academy. I have over 18 years of federal grants experience. Before starting the firm, I obtained and managed multimillion dollar federal and other government grants for nonprofits and managed grants as a research program manager at a top research university. I was also a public health analyst at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) where I reviewed research grant continuation applications, collaborated with grantees, and coordinated reverse site visits. I’m one of approximately 313 Certified Grants Management Specialists (CGMS) in the US, a member of the Thompson Grants Expert Panel, the creator of a 4.5/5 star rated federal grant management training series for a federal agency, and a former fiscal consultant on monitoring visits of state agency recipients of federal grants. I'm a mom of three who enjoys international fiction and foreign films, and I’m a world travel enthusiast.
