Our reports provide timely information on the federal budget process and its impact on states, as well as a weekly list of grant opportunities, and summaries of congressional and agency actions.
FFIS tracks more than 240 federal grant programs. The database is updated to reflect the president's proposed budget and the enacted budget, and includes scads of information about the grants in it.
Bi-monthly dispatches contain an abundance of 50-state data, covering trends in state taxes and spending, the quarterly Index of State Economic Momentum, the Camelot Index, and much more.
Materials include promising management practices from other states, as well as analyses that explain the big differences in how states fare in their fiscal relationship with the federal government.
