Despite the Trump Administration's deregulatory agenda and earlier efforts to slow the pace of disbursing funds for grant recipients and other awardees, grant money at most agencies is now flowing at a rate in line with historical norms. Billions of dollars are available through grants, cooperative agreements, procurements and other transactions.
