Program Summary

Every year the federal government expends hundreds of billions of dollars on various grant programs to address important issues like public health and safety, the Covid-19 pandemic, unemployment, and education initiatives. This presentation will provide an overview of the federal financial assistance system underlying all federal grant awards. The discussion will include core concepts such as the legal nature of federal grant agreements and cooperative agreements as well as the major requirements. Finally, we will discuss typical agency approaches to oversight and enforcement of federal grant obligations and common disputes under federal grants.

This course is co-sponsored with myLawCLE.

Key topics to be discussed:

  • What is a federal grant (as opposed to a federal contract)?
  • What are the different types of grants?
  • The life cycle of a grant from pre-award phase, award phase, and post award phase
  • Statutory and regulatory requirements governing federal agencies and grantees such as the Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards
