Resource: EO 14332-Improving Oversight of Federal Grantmaking

Executive Order 14332, issued on August 7, 2025, enhances political oversight of federal grants by requiring senior officials to review and approve all discretionary grants, ensuring alignment with Administration priorities and restricting funding for perceived "anti-American values". The order mandates that all discretionary grants include a "termination for convenience" clause, increasing the government's power to cancel existing grants. It also directs the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to revise the Uniform Guidance to streamline application processes, limit indirect costs, and prohibit grant recipients from drawing down funds without express agency authorization and written justification
