In this session, we will cover Uniform Guidance’s post-award requirements from the perspective of the pre-award phase within the grant lifecycle. We will discuss certain considerations for post-award requirements and how they should impact your organization’s planning and preparation during the development of grant applications and budgets in response to Funding Opportunity Announcements (FOAs). This discussion will include practical advice and tools for post-award professionals to aid proposal development teams’ focus on compliance throughout the pre-award process. Furthermore, we will discuss what processes and controls your organization should have in place as the federal agency evaluates your grant application to ensure that your organization is operating within compliance on day one of your anticipated federal award. By proactively setting your organization up for success, you can promote the effective management of your federal programs while greatly reducing the likelihood of falling into potential non-compliance.
