How can I track my grant application status?
Track and check the status of your submitted applications. To track Grants.gov submissions, enter up to five Grants.gov tracking numbers, one per line and click the “Track” button.
What happens if there is no tracking number on Grants.gov?
If there is no agency-specific tracking number, retain your Grants.gov tracking number in order to refer to it once it has been downloaded by the agency. After the agency has downloaded the application, you will receive any future updates regarding your application from the federal agency, not Grants.gov.
Is the status of an application reported to Grants.gov?
Please note, this only confirms that an application was successfully retrieved by the awarding agency. Thereafter in the process, the awarding agency reviews and processes the applications independent of Grants.gov, and they do not report the status to Grants.gov.
How does the grant process work on Grants.gov?
Grants.gov does not review application content for award determination. Once your application package has passed validation it is delivered to the grantor for award determination and further approval. After the grantor has confirmed receipt of your application, you will be sent a third and final email from Grants.gov.
What is the division of grants compliance and oversight?
The Division of Grants Compliance and Oversight (DGCO) is the focal point to advance external compliance with policy and legislative mandates and enhance compliance oversight by recipient institutions. The DGCO also ensures and evaluates the efficient and effective management of extramural resources.
What to do if you suspect grant fraud?
Implement an internal compliance and ethics program that encourages the recognition and reporting of fraud, waste, or abuse. Report suspected fraud to the Inspector General of the government agency that distributed the federal grant funds.
When did the government start reporting on grants?
In 2006, the Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act (FFATA) set in motion a government-wide reporting procedure that has continued to evolve. The law requires that information about entities and organizations receiving federal funds be disclosed to the public via a central website, USAspending.gov.
Where do I find information about a grant?
This information currently includes the entity’s name, amount of the grant, funding agency, and location – among other requirements – and is published by the grant-making agency on USASpending.gov. The federal award recipient – called the “prime awardee” by FFATA – files progress reports via the FFATA Sub-award Reporting System (FSRS).
Do you need timesheets to pay federal employees?
This subsection outlines documentation requirements for paying employees with Federal funds, and the Uniform Guidance significantly revises these requirements. One notable omission in this subsection is the phrase “time and effort reporting.” This has led some non-Federal entities to believe that they no longer need to keep timesheets.
