Step 3 of 4 Grant Lifecycle
Managing an Award
Submitting a successful application is only the beginning.
If you are successful in the competition, you will receive an official Notice of Award (NOA) from our grants management system (Grant Solutions) or via e-mail. The NOA includes the amount awarded for the specified budget period, the purpose(s) of the award, the anticipated length of the period of performance, terms and conditions of the award, and the amount of cost share or matching, if applicable.
We strongly encourage you to read the entire document to ensure your organization’s information is correct and that you understand all terms and conditions. You should pay specific attention to the terms and conditions, as some may require a time-limited response as a condition of the award. The NOA will also identify the Grants Management Specialist (GMS) and Federal Project Officer (FPO) assigned to the award for assistance and monitoring. The GMS and FPO will work as a team. Any questions or concerns during the project should be communicated to both the GMS and FPO.
General Responsibilities. You will have the full responsibility for the conduct of the approved project or activity and for adherence to all award terms and conditions, statutory, regulatory, or policy requirements applicable to grants and cooperative agreements. The approved project or activity is the project described in your application subject to any OASH GMO approved amendments. Approval of the project does not waive or negate any statutory, regulatory, or policy requirements applicable to grants and cooperative agreements.
You will be encouraged to seek the advice and opinion of the federal project officer and grants management specialist on special problems that may arise. Such advice does not diminish your responsibility for making sound programmatic and administrative judgments and does not imply that the responsibility for operating decisions has shifted to HHS, OASH, or the program office.
