Rural Grants Transparency Act aims to enhance clarity and accessibility of rural development grant programs.

The Rural Grants Transparency Act seeks to improve transparency, accessibility, and accountability in the administration of rural development grant programs at the Department of Agriculture. It mandates the development of a Rural Grant Transparency Roadmap for each covered program, including a plain-language description, step-by-step application requirements, and a standardized checklist of materials. The Secretary of Agriculture must also publish scoring criteria, provide standardized grant application notifications, and maintain a searchable database of grant awards.
