Good afternoon:
Thanks for those that participated in today's federal funding call. Here are some documents / links that were shared in the chat and a few other relevant documents:
- Response to Motion to Dismiss and Motion for Rehearing En Banc in Sustainability Institute v. Trump (these are in the same PDF)
- The latest Sams.gov language that was discussed in the chat during the federal funding call is below my signature block.
- IPP Vendor Invoice Certification Quick Reference Guide (this was shared in the chat today)
- FY25 COPS Office SVPP Application Resource Guide that has compliance conditions (shared in today's chat)
- A member shared their notes about what changes to grants they've seen so far and I am attaching that.
- Here is a link to the HHS Assurance of Compliance that was shared in the chat today: https://www.hhs.gov/sites/default/files/form-hhs690.pdf
- And I wanted to resend the HHS Grants Policy Statement from April 16, 2025: https://www.hhs.gov/sites/default/files/hhs-grants-policy-statement-april-2025.pdf
- As mentioned on today's call, here is the DOJ OVW FY 2025 Sexual Assault Services Formula Program that contains a list of "out of scope activities" that notes that these activities must be removed from the application. These include "promoting or facilitating the violation of federal immigration law" and "Promoting or facilitating discriminatory programs or ideology, including illegal DEI and "diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility" programs that do not advance the policy of equal dignity and respect, as described in Executive Order 14173, Ending Illegal Discrimination and Restoring Merit-Based Opportunity. This prohibition is not intended to interfere with any of OVW's statutory obligations, such as funding for HBCUs, culturally specific services, and disability programs." https://www.justice.gov/ovw/media/1399161/dl?inline
Thanks!
