NOT2449. With Great Funding Comes Great Responsibility (ONLINE ONLY)

In many respects, adhering to grant compliance requirements is just as important as winning the award in the first place. Whether you’ve received funding from a federal agency or a private foundation, there’s more to do than simply meet program objectives and deliverables. Staying compliant creates an on-going relationship between your organization and your funder and is integral to the successful implementation of any award, regardless of the funding source. Unfortunately, many organizations view compliance solely as a finance or administrative task when, in fact, organizations should take a multi-disciplinary approach to compliance. In this session, we will discuss ways to engage programmatic staff in grant compliance activities, and why it’s critical to do so.

Learning Objectives:

• Recall how to take a multidisciplinary approach to grant compliance.
• Recognize tools and resources for managing compliance responsibilities.
• Identify practical ways to engage programmatic staff in compliance activities.
