National Security and International Affairs Grant Agreement

National Security and International Affairs · NAICS 928 · Grant Agreement

This Grant Agreement tool is designed for organizations and agencies operating in the national security and international affairs domain. Whether you are a federal agency issuing a grant to support research, capacity building, or humanitarian assistance abroad, or a grantee receiving funds to execute a critical project, this specialized agreement ensures that your grant includes essential security, compliance, and reporting terms. It goes beyond generic grant templates by incorporating clauses on classification, foreign national involvement, and export controls, which are vital when the work touches on sensitive technologies or international partnerships. Generate a draft that aligns with federal grant regulations and your mission's unique requirements.

Frequently asked questions

Does this grant agreement comply with 2 CFR Part 200?

Yes, the draft incorporates the Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards, which apply to most federal grants. However, you should always consult your agency's specific terms and conditions.

What if my project involves classified work?

The agreement includes a security requirements clause that can be tailored to reference the applicable classification level and security manual, such as the NISPOM. You must ensure your organization has the necessary facility clearance and personnel clearances.

Can I use this for a grant from a non-US entity?

This template is designed for US federal grants. For grants from foreign governments or international bodies, you would need to adapt the clauses, but the security and compliance principles may still be useful.
