The purpose of this legislation, known as the Duplicative Grant Consolidation Act, is to prevent the misuse of federal grant funds by prohibiting the awarding of grants to applicants who submit duplicate or fraudulent applications. It aims to improve the integrity of the federal grant process by establishing a system to track grant applications and ensure that applicants do not receive funding for the same purpose from multiple agencies. Key provisions of the Act include a ban on awarding federal grants to applicants who have already received funding for the same purpose from another agency.
