Federal Grants Management 

MODULE 3

ACCESS NOW

Congratulations! Your organization was awarded a federal grant. Now what?

 

Using engaging visual design, light animation, and recorded online demonstrations, Grants Works teaches you how to manage the award budget, understand guidance and reporting responsibilities, and ensure a successful closeout.

What is it about?

The Federal Grant Management Training series is a self-guided, three-video training series designed to provide government grantees with the information needed to ensure the successful and compliant management of federal grants and cooperative agreements. This is the third module in the training series. 

Did you know that recipients of federal grants can sometimes negotiate certain variables of the award because sometimes the grant award amount is different from the application budget?  We cover this and more in this training.

We will also take another look at the Terms and Conditions of the award, the guidelines that govern the award, and take another look at the Order of Precedence. 

This training will help you develop an internal grant management plan, build collaboration around compliance, and, hopefully, avoid any surprises.
