Services and Specialties

FBA specializes in working with Congressional committees and federal agencies that fund scientific research, education and training, and health care. The Firm’s client base of universities, colleges, medical centers and technology firms reflects this focus.

Recognizing that clients have different and sometimes unique needs, FBA tailors specialized services to meet the requirements of each client. These services include:

• Developing effective government relations programs at the federal level that are integrated with client activities with state governments, the private sector, associations, and foundations.

• Assisting clients with strategic planning, needs assessments, and information gathering.

• Legislative advocacy for individual clients and coalitions of interest groups.

• Planning campaigns for directed federal appropriations matched to demonstrated national needs and priorities.
  
  
• Providing clients advance information on legislation and federal program priorities and funding levels.
  
  
• Informing clients of grant and contract opportunities with federal agencies and assisting with application strategies and proposal preparation.
  
  
• Developing and managing special events that raise client or initiative visibility in the Washington community.
  
  
• Directing briefings, seminars, and conferences for client constituencies and government officials.
  

FBA has also assembled an array of information on Federal grants, contracts, cooperative agreements, Congressionally appropriated/directed "earmark" grants, and other financial assistance.  Our database can be customized to meet your organization's needs by tracking only funding pertinent to your goals.  FBA supplements the database services with consulting services that broker Federal assistance and products/services.

The database services track the Federal Government programs and funding opportunities as they affect various institutions, such as hospitals and institutions of higher learning. The database covers Congressional actions and appropriations, as well as grant and contract opportunities for all Federal agencies and departments. The database is updated as information is released.  A select group of your organization's employees are provided access to the database on a password protected basis for confidentiality purposes.  Related consulting services are developed to meet your individual needs.
