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.
