FSRS Role-Based Training Webinar for FFATA Sub-Awa

On October 7, 2010, GSA’s Office of Governmentwide Policy hosted a training webinar for prime awardees to familiarize the user community with the FFATA Subaward Reporting System (www.fsrs.gov) reporting tool. This webinar provided a system overview, defined user roles, addressed the basic data flow and introduced the new grants subaward and executive compensation reporting functionality coming on October 29, 2010.

A recorded copy of the webinar will be available on USAspending (www.USAspending.gov) and FSRS (www.fsrs.gov) within 2 business days. The direct link will be e-mailed to all webinar registrants, even those unable to attend. A learning module demonstrating the capabilities of the FSRS tool for reporting Federal contract subawards is already available at www.fsrs.gov under "FSRS contractor demonstration."

Given requests for additional live training, GSA will host another live webinar session for prime grant awardees prior to October 29, 2010. Registration information for that session will be posted soon on USAspending. GSA will also explore providing a monthly live webinar beginning in November.

In the meantime, to learn more about subaward reporting and Federal spending transparency, visit the USAspending (www.USAspending.gov) home page where you can sign up to receive updates via e-mail. GSA's Office of Governmentwide Policy will send out information about upcoming training events, post copies of briefings and webinars, and keep you informed on the system development.
