Course 3: Financial and Compliance Considerations for Pre-Award: Price to Win

Organizations have invested significant resources in grant writing and have become very good at winning grants. These victories are often short-lived due to the lack of financial consideration given during the proposal development process. Organizations oftentimes are stuck with financial terms and grant budgets that wind up costing the organization significant amounts of money for the life of the grant. 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.
