AGS Training

When: On-demand 

Cost: $75

Who Should Attend: Grant professionals, grant managers, finance and compliance staff, program leaders, and other nonprofit or public-sector professionals who help interpret, implement, or monitor federal award requirements after funding is received.

This course is especially relevant for professionals who receive or work from federal Notices of Award and need a practical process for determining what the award requires, who needs to act, and how those requirements should be tracked over time.

You received the federal award. Now what exactly did your organization agree to?

A Notice of Award may be only one part of the answer. Federal awards can incorporate requirements through attachments, agency policies, program requirements, the approved application, federal regulations, and other documents. They may also include standard or general terms, program-specific requirements, grant- or award-specific conditions, special terms, prior-approval requirements, reporting deadlines, and other provisions that affect how the award is implemented.

The challenge is not simply reading the award. It is translating those requirements into work.

In this one-hour NASBA-approved live webinar, Julie Assel, GPC, CGMS, will use real federal award examples to demonstrate how grant professionals can move from award language to a practical post-award plan. Participants will learn how to identify what governs an award, determine what significant terms and conditions actually require, assign responsibility, identify deadlines and prior approvals, document compliance, and track requirements throughout the life of the award.

The course also examines an important reality of federal grant management: agencies do not always use terms such as standard, special, specific, program-specific, or grant-specific in exactly the same way. Rather than relying on the heading alone, participants will learn to examine the source and operational effect of each requirement.

Finally, participants will explore what happens after the initial award. Conditions may be satisfied or lifted. Prior approvals may change the project. Project periods may be extended. Later Notices of Award may modify some requirements while leaving others in place. Strong post-award management requires knowing not only what the original award said, but what governs the award today.

You'll learn how to:

• Identify the award documents, incorporated references, and attachments that establish the terms and conditions governing a federal award.
• Distinguish among standard or general, program-specific, grant- or award-specific, and special terms or conditions while recognizing that federal agencies may use these labels differently.
• Translate award terms and conditions into operational responsibilities, deadlines, prior approvals, documentation requirements, and internal tracking needs.
• Recognize when award requirements change through subsequent Notices of Award, amendments, prior approvals, or other award actions and determine what remains in effect.

A Practical Framework You Can Use

Participants will learn a repeatable method for reviewing significant award requirements:
Source → Requirement → Action → Owner → Timing → Approval → Evidence → Tracking

The goal is not to create another lengthy federal compliance checklist. It is to give participants a practical way to move from “I found the requirement” to “I know how our organization will manage it.”
