Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between a grant agreement and a contract?

A grant agreement is used when the primary purpose is to support a public purpose, not to acquire goods or services for the grantor's direct benefit. Contracts are for procurement. This template is tailored for grants.

Do I need to include 2 CFR Part 200 provisions?

If you are awarding federal funds, yes. Even if you are a state or local agency passing through federal funds, you must comply with 2 CFR Part 200. This template includes references to those requirements.

Can I use this template for a subaward to a contractor?

Yes, but you must ensure the agreement distinguishes between a subaward and a procurement contract. This template can be adapted for subawards, but for contractor purchases, a procurement contract may be more appropriate.
