Step-by-step guide

Step 1

Start with funder and award basics

Select the funder, enter the grant name, choose public or private, add the award amount, and set the grant period. These fields power grant list totals, remaining award views, reports, and audit summaries.

Step 2

Capture federal award identifiers

For public awards, add FAIN or federal award ID, ALN/CFDA, UEI, federal agency, pass-through entity, and SEFA applicability. These details help standardize audit package summaries.

Step 3

Record special award conditions

Use the special requirements and compliance flags for Davis-Bacon, BABA, Section 3, environmental review, procurement rules, closeout dates, and retention expectations.

Step 4

Add normal recurring requirements

Create reporting, reimbursement, audit, monitoring, and closeout requirements with due dates and recurrence. When a grant is closed, future-facing reporting can be stopped as part of closeout workflow.

Step 5

Assign ownership and review needs

Set owners, reviewers, priority, risk level, evidence required, and approval required so the requirement matrix becomes a working task list instead of a static register.
