GTD-FOM Tool

Strategic Initiative(s) Alignment: Access to Capital, Capacity Building
Type: Tool
Year(s): 2021

The GTD-FOM tool (Grant Tracking Database – Funding Opportunity Matchmaking Tool), originally developed in 2016, has been updated by the Economic RSF for use by NGOs in Puerto Rico. A filtering capacity has been added that allows the user to identify Federal Agencies’ Notices of Funding Availability (NOFAs) that are relevant to Puerto Rico. 

 Goals:

  • Making information easy and accessible for all types of end-users (PR Local NGOs) to have the latest and relevant NOFAs (Notice of Funding Availability) information
  • Providing valuable (actionable) information to end-users
  • Maximizing grant proposal preparation time to end-users
  • Providing informatics tools to end-users that are going to help them become strategic in the use of their information.

Objectives:

  • Building a system to capture daily NOFAs using the official RSS Web Feed from Grants.gov
  • Strategizing and implementing a Python RSS Filtering Script with the capacity to automatically capture daily NOFAs
  • Providing keyword filtering capability on the NOFAs to the local EDA partner
  • Assisting the end-user in the process of matching specific-relevant NOFAs
  • Helping the local EDA partner create an easy and inclusive format to distribute already filtered and matched daily NOFAs information
