Participants will explore tools for conducting review, methods for providing feedback to applicants and options for notification of selection. 2
3 Grant Making Agencies 3
4 Federal Grants A grant is a way the government funds your ideas and projects to provide public services and stimulate the economy. Grants support critical recovery initiatives, innovative research, and many other programs listed in the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA). A grant is one of many different forms of federal financial assistance. Federal financial assistance is a broad term to refer to the various ways the U.S. government redistributes resources to eligible recipients Source: Grants.gov 4
5 Federal Grants Billions of dollars in Federal grants are awarded each year for programs and projects that benefit the public. This assistance is rooted in the Constitution and its call to "promote the general Welfare." The Federal Grant and Cooperative Agreement Act, passed in 1977, set out to guide government agencies in their use of Federal funds particularly by defining the roles of contracts, cooperative agreements, and grants. Contracts, should be awarded when a Federal agency is acquiring something Grants, should be awarded when a Federal agency is providing assistance Source: Grants.gov 5
6 Federal Grant Legislation Legislation has addressed everything from lobbying efforts to auditing requirements, to reporting procedures, to transparency and cross-agency data-sharing. The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) plays an important role in interpreting and implementing the laws among the Federal government's awarding agencies. Grant policies are shaped by a range of statutes, regulations, Executive Orders and guidance. Source: Grants.gov

9 Federal Grant Legislation Federal Grant and Cooperative Agreement Act 1977 To distinguish Federal grant and cooperative agreement relationships from Federal procurement relationships, and for other purposes. Lobbying and Disclosure Act 1995 To provide for the disclosure of lobbying activities to influence the Federal Government, and for other purposes. Single Audit Act Amendments 1996 To streamline and improve the effectiveness of chapter 75 of title 31, United States Code (commonly referred to as the Single Audit Act ). Federal Financial Assistance Management Improvement Act 1999 To improve the effectiveness and performance of Federal financial assistance programs, simplify Federal financial assistance application and reporting requirements, and improve the delivery of services to the public. Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act 2006 To require full disclosure of all entities and organizations receiving Federal funds.
10 Federal Grant Legislation American Recovery and Reinvestment Act 2009 Making supplemental appropriations for job preservation and creation, infrastructure investment, energy efficiency and science, assistance to the unemployed, and State and local fiscal stabilization, for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2009, and for other purposes. Government Performance and Results Modernization Act 2010 To require quarterly performance assessments of Government programs for purposes of assessing agency performance and improvement, and to establish agency performance improvement officers and the Performance Improvement Council. EO: Delivering an Efficient, Effective and Accountable Government 2011 President Obama issued an executive order outlining the creation of the Government Accountability and Transparency Board (GATB). GATB's responsibilities include studying data sharing tools and creating a set of best practices that can guide the Federal government in its spending transparency reforms.
11 Federal Grant Legislation Grant Reform and New Transparency Act 2011 To amend title 31, United States Code, to provide transparency and require certain standards in the award of Federal grants, and for other purposes. The Digital Accountability and Transparency Act 2014 To expand the Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act of 2006 to increase accountability and transparency in Federal spending, and for other purposes. Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards 2014 The reforms that comprise the Uniform Guidance aim to reduce the administrative burden on award recipients and, at the same time, guard against the risk of waste and misuse of Federal funds.
12 Life-Cycle Components Public Law Initial Plan Although there are variations in the specific requirements of each component of the life cycle for different types of grants or recipients, the life cycle generally includes: Legislative authorization and appropriations Announcement of a funding opportunity by a Federal Program Preparation and submission of applications by non-federal organizations to the sponsoring agency; Award to those entities meeting eligibility and program requirements and that are selected for funding following a merit or other comparative evaluation of applications; Post-award performance and administration by the recipient in accordance with the terms and conditions of award, including general administrative requirements and cost principles;
13 Life-Cycle Components Public Law Initial Plan Reporting on financial and programmatic performance and other activities, such as inventions and environmental impact, as applicable; Agency monitoring and technical assistance; Payment; Audit; and Closeout Government-wide and agency processes, systems, and standards support the grant life cycle. They are intended to provide the foundation for agency and recipient compliance with Federal laws, regulations, and requirements, including fiscal accountability. With the advent of advanced technology and a greater appreciation of the burdens the Federal grant process places on recipients, we need to recognize how our processes, systems, and standards affect recipient business processes.
14 14 Uniform Grants Guidance
15 Pre-Award Notices of funding opportunities The Federal awarding agency must announce specific funding opportunities by providing the following information in a public notice: a) Summary Information in Notices of Funding Opportunities. The Federal awarding agency must display the following information posted on the OMB-designated governmentwide Web site for finding and applying for Federal financial assistance, in a location preceding the full text of the announcement: 1) Federal Awarding Agency Name; 2) Funding Opportunity Title; 3) Announcement Type (whether the funding opportunity is the initial announcement of this funding opportunity or a modification of a previously announced opportunity); 4) Funding Opportunity Number (required, if applicable). If the Federal awarding agency has assigned or will assign a number to the funding opportunity announcement, this number must be provided; 5) Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) Number(s); 6) Key Dates. Key dates include due dates for applications or Executive Order submissions, as well as for any letters of intent or pre-applications. For any announcement issued before a program's application materials are available, key dates also include the date on which those materials will be released; and any other additional information, as deemed applicable by the relevant Federal awarding agency. 15
16 Pre-Award Notices of funding opportunities b) The Federal awarding agency must generally make all funding opportunities available for application for at least 60 calendar days. The Federal awarding agency may make a determination to have a less than 60 calendar day availability period but no funding opportunity should be available for less than 30 calendar days unless exigent circumstances require as determined by the Federal awarding agency head or delegate. 16
17 Pre-Award Notices of funding opportunities c) Full Text of Funding Opportunities. The Federal awarding agency must include the following information in the full text of each funding opportunity. 1) Full programmatic description of the funding opportunity. 2) Federal award information, including sufficient information to help an applicant make an informed decision about whether to submit an application. (See also Indirect (F&A) costs, paragraph (c)(4)). 3) Specific eligibility information, including any factors or priorities that affect an applicant's or its application's eligibility for selection. 4) Application Preparation and Submission Information, including the applicable submission dates and time. 5) Application Review Information including the criteria and process to be used to evaluate applications. See also Federal awarding agency review of merit proposals and Federal awarding agency review of risk posed by applicants. 6) Federal Award Administration Information. See also Information contained in a Federal award. 17
18 Pre-Award Federal awarding agency review of merit of proposals. For competitive grants or cooperative agreements, unless prohibited by Federal statute, the Federal awarding agency must design and execute a merit review process for applications. This process must be described or incorporated by reference in the applicable funding opportunity. (see Appendix I to this part, Full text of the Funding Opportunity.) See also Notices of funding opportunities.
19 Pre-Award Federal awarding agency review of risk posed by applicants. a) Review of OMB-designated repositories of govermentwide data. 1) Prior to making a Federal award, the Federal awarding agency is required by 31 U.S.C and 41 U.S.C note to review information available through any OMB-designated repositories of governmentwide eligibility qualification or financial integrity information as appropriate. See also suspension and debarment requirements at 2 CFR part 180 as well as individual Federal agency suspension and debarment regulations in title 2 of the Code of Federal Regulations.
20 Pre-Award Federal awarding agency review of risk posed by applicants. a) Review of OMB-designated repositories of govermentwide data. (Cont.) 2) In accordance 41 U.S.C. 2313, the Federal awarding agency is required to review the non-public segment of the OMB-designated integrity and performance system accessible through SAM (currently FAPIIS) prior to making a Federal award where the Federal share is expected to exceed the simplified acquisition threshold, defined in 41 U.S.C. 134, over the period of performance. At a minimum, the information in the system for a prior Federal award recipient must demonstrate a satisfactory record of executing programs or activities under Federal grants, cooperative agreements, or procurement awards; and integrity and business ethics. The Federal awarding agency may make a Federal award to a recipient who does not fully meet these standards, if it is determined that the information is not relevant to the current Federal award under consideration or there are specific conditions that can appropriately mitigate the effects of the non- Federal entity's risk in accordance with Specific conditions.
21 Pre-Award Federal awarding agency review of risk posed by applicants. b) In addition, for competitive grants or cooperative agreements, the Federal awarding agency must have in place a framework for evaluating the risks posed by applicants before they receive Federal awards. This evaluation may incorporate results of the evaluation of the applicant's eligibility or the quality of its application. If the Federal awarding agency determines that a Federal award will be made, special conditions that correspond to the degree of risk assessed may be applied to the Federal award. Criteria to be evaluated must be described in the announcement of funding opportunity described in Notices of funding opportunities.
22 Pre-Award Federal awarding agency review of risk posed by applicants. c) In evaluating risks posed by applicants, the Federal awarding agency may use a risk-based approach and may consider any items such as the following: 1) Financial stability; 2) Quality of management systems and ability to meet the management standards prescribed in this part; 3) History of performance. The applicant's record in managing Federal awards, if it is a prior recipient of Federal awards, including timeliness of compliance with applicable reporting requirements, conformance to the terms and conditions of previous Federal awards, and if applicable, the extent to which any previously awarded amounts will be expended prior to future awards; 4) Reports and findings from audits performed under Subpart F Audit Requirements of this part or the reports and findings of any other available audits; and 5) The applicant's ability to effectively implement statutory, regulatory, or other requirements imposed on non-federal entities.
23 Pre-Award Federal awarding agency review of risk posed by applicants. d) In addition to this review, the Federal awarding agency must comply with the guidelines on governmentwide suspension and debarment in 2 CFR part 180, and must require non-federal entities to comply with these provisions. These provisions restrict Federal awards, subawards and contracts with certain parties that are debarred, suspended or otherwise excluded from or ineligible for participation in Federal programs or activities.

Where appropriate, the Federal award may include specific performance goals, indicators, milestones, or expected outcomes (such as outputs, or services performed or public impacts of any of these) with an expected timeline for accomplishment. Reporting requirements must be clearly articulated such that, where appropriate, performance during the execution of the Federal award has a standard against which non-federal entity performance can be measured. The Federal awarding agency may include program-specific requirements, as applicable. These requirements should be aligned with agency strategic goals, strategic objectives or performance goals that are relevant to the program.

37 Grant Review Process OneStar selects applications for funding using a multiphase process that includes review by a panel of community experts, OneStar staff, and the OneStar National Service Commission Board of Directors. In evaluating each application for funding, we assess the program design, organizational capability, and costeffectiveness and budget adequacy. Additionally, staff assess required supplemental documents such as the organizational capacity survey, member placement chart, and audited financial statements. 37
38 Application Review Each applicant must clearly describe a project that will deploy AmeriCorps members effectively to solve a significant community problem. We expect organizations to submit high quality applications that follow the guidance in the Notice and in the Application Instructions carefully. The quality of the application will be an important factor in determining whether an organization will receive funding. 38
39 General Timeline In developing a timeline for your Grant Making, where do you have flexibility and where do you have hard deadlines? What factors do you need to take into consideration to ensure compliance with your organization s rules on publishing an RFP and selecting grants? 39

43 Staff Review Staff Review Scoresheets Continuation New/Recompete 43
44 Preparing for the Review To ensure that a quality, thorough and fair assessment of all applications is conducted, the following principles should be applied. Do not discriminate for or against an applicant because of any personal bias you may have. For example, if you do not think that an applicant with religious character or affiliation should be a provider of services, that belief should not influence your assessment. Be completely familiar with the forms and background material provided to you. Read quickly through all the proposals once before completing any scoresheets. Make constructive comments about what is presented in the application and omit any comments which are personal opinion or unrelated editorial. Include comments that explain or justify the score you give for each category. Do not make cryptic notes that will be difficult for others to understand. 44
45 Preparing for the Review To ensure that a quality, thorough and fair assessment of all applications is conducted, the following principles should be applied. (cont.) Do not read into the application any biases you may have for or against a program model. Use the evidence provided in the application to determine a quality model. Do not make assumptions about missing background information or project meaning. Review only what is included and provided in the grant application (do not Google the applicant organization). Read for substance not style. Be thorough and objective. 45
46 Preparing for the Review Comments Your comments must match your scores. A perfect comment should be matched by a score of a 5. Questioning components of the response would not be a 5. Do NOT: Comment on program activities (judge what they are doing as an organization) Tell them how they should be doing things Compare their application with other applications, each application should be evaluated on its own merits against the criteria. Be Rude 46
47 Preparing for the Review Comments DO: Be Brief Be Specific Unclear What was unclear? Good What was good? Be Positive, when Possible Remember that each application represents a lot of hard work on the part of the organization. The goal of critiquing is to be helpful, not hurtful. Newer applicants are often the recipients of negative comments; if you can say anything good about an application with the bad, it can be less discouraging for the applicants. Be Honest, but not unnecessarily harsh. 47
48 Notification Upon approval of the OneStar Board, notification is sent to all applicants of their selection/non-selection via letter. Who receives notification? Circumstances which may require a call. No option provided for reconsideration. Feedback provided to applicants. 48
