Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between a fixed amount award and a cost reimbursement grant?

A fixed amount award pays a set amount upon completion of activities, regardless of actual costs, reducing administrative burden. A cost reimbursement grant pays the grantee for allowable costs actually incurred, requiring detailed documentation of expenses.

Do I need to include 2 CFR Part 200 provisions in my grant agreement?

If the grant is funded by the federal government, yes. 2 CFR Part 200 establishes uniform administrative requirements, cost principles, and audit requirements for federal awards. Even state or local grants often incorporate these provisions as a best practice.

How long must the grantee retain records?

Typically, records must be retained for at least three years after the submission of the final expenditure report or the closeout of the grant, whichever is later. Some programs may require longer retention periods.
