Federal Grants - Federal Grant Management: Non-Financial Requirements 
Session 12 of the Federal Grants Series

While most people think of the financial management of a federal grant as the area with the greatest challenges or newest requirements, there are also many non-financial requirements that must be considered when managing the implementation of a federal grant, including, but not limited to:

1. Hiring staff and changing program directors
2. Data collection, storage, and reporting
3. Record retention
4. Other assurances and certifications

This session will examine these issues, provide recommended policies and procedures to prevent the most common errors, and provide recommendations for next steps along the continuum of readiness for federal grant management.

What you will learn:

• How to manage human resource issues like fair hiring and project director changes
• How to manage data collection, storage, and reporting
• How to properly close out a federal grant and record retention requirements
• What other federal laws you agree to follow when you accept federal funding
  
  

The trainers for these sessions are all credentialed grant professionals (GPCs) through the Grant Professional Certification Institute and Approved Trainers with the Grant Professionals Association. 

GPCI Competencies and Skills: 5.1, 5.2, 5.3, 5.4, 5.5

Length: 60 minutes

FEDERAL GRANTS TRAINING SERIES

Most people consider federal grant training to be a more advanced form of grant writing and management. We at Assel Grant Services do a lot of work with federal grants and we believe that federal grants share a lot of characteristics with significant federal grants. That said, there are a lot of nuances unique to federal grants to learn. This professional development series is designed to help nonprofit professionals who have never written a federal grant be as prepared to step through the federal grant pre-award and post-award process for the first time with confidence.

These sessions are designed to support nonprofit professionals before and during their first federal grant. If you don’t tune in before your first opportunity comes out, this series can be managed during a typical six to eight-week federal grant funding cycle.
