OMB Posts Webinars on ARRA Reporting

The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has posted on its Web site a recent series of webinars it conducted on new guidance on the reporting requirements associated with receipt of funds under President Obama's economic stimulus plan.

The series of seven non-repeating webinars were held from July 20-23.  The webinars focused on aspects of OMB Memorandum M-09-21, "Implementing Guidance for the Reports on Use of Funds Pursuant to the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009." (Click here for Schoolgrants2009's initial look at that memo.)

Webinar topics include reporting, job-creation estimates, technology solutions and data quality requirements.

Schoolgrants2009 will hold a follow-up audioconference July 30 that will distill the OMB guidance for K-12 and higher education audiences and incorporate additional perspectives gleaned from an Education Department briefing July 23. The price is $249, $149 for Schoolgrants2009 subscribers.
