Frequently asked questions

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

A grant agreement is used when the primary purpose is to support a public purpose or program, not to acquire goods or services for the government's direct benefit. Procurement contracts are used when the government buys goods or services. This tool focuses on grant agreements.

Do I need to include 2 CFR Part 200 references?

If your grant involves federal funds, either directly or as a subaward, compliance with 2 CFR Part 200 is typically mandatory. Even for state-only grants, many states adopt similar requirements. Including these references ensures your agreement aligns with standard audit expectations.

Can this agreement be used for subawards?

Yes, the template can be adapted for subawards from a prime recipient to a subrecipient. You should clearly state the relationship and flow-down requirements from the federal award.
