Description
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.
