CPE, CLE Accredited
This is session 2 of 2 in the A Practical Guide to Grant and Cooperative Agreement Compliance virtual course.

Each year the Federal government issues more funding as grants and cooperative agreements than contracts. This trend has accelerated in the past two years and has seen increased media attention due to the COVID-19 crisis and the race for a vaccine and other treatments. In this course, we will introduce you to federal grant funding and discuss the relevant compliance considerations and requirements.

This 2-day course consists of 8 sessions. Session descriptions and learning objectives are listed in the "Agenda" section on this page. Sessions include:
  • Session 1: Basics of Grant Management
  • Session 2: Cost Allowability and Allocability
  • Session 3: Preparing an Indirect Rate Structure and Cost Proposal Rates
  • Session 4: Timekeeping and Labor Accounting for Federal Grants
  • Session 5: Subrecipient Monitoring 
  • Session 6: Billing / Drawdown and Payment; Documentation and Record Retention Issues
  • Session 7: Policy & Procedure and Internal Controls for Grants
