Program Knowledge Level: Basic

Advanced Preparation: None

The COVID-19 pandemic continues to have an unprecedented impact on grant projects. Addressing this impact has required time-critical decisions on how to respond to everything from business closures and worker furloughs to remote workplaces and social distancing.

Every decision—and the ones yet to be made—affect your ability to deliver the outcomes promised in grant proposals.

How can you move forward in this “new normal” without putting program performance (and compliance with 2 CFR 200) at risk?

Elizabeth Gombash has written grants funded at more than $163 million. In this 90-minute webinar, she draws on 30 years of experience managing grants—and the crises that affect them—to help you keep COVID-19’s continuing impact from putting grant performance and compliance at risk.

Assess and address the “new normal.” Through the lens of the Uniform Grant Guidance, you’ll learn how decisions you’ve had to make for the short term affect the outcomes promised in grant proposals and how you’ll fare during your audit. You’ll also look ahead to decisions you still have to make for the long term. Plus, you’ll have the chance to ask your own questions during the Q&A portion of the webinar.

Reserve your space now for expert advice on how to retool your decision-making to steward taxpayer dollars and grant outcomes during COVID-19 (and other crises). In this webinar, you’ll:

Review 2 CFR 200 requirements and obligations associated with common performance activities in grant-supported projects
Learn where flexibilities exist and the audit risks associated with decisions made in response to COVID-19
Develop a mindset for identifying how COVID-19 affects project activities and outcomes
Gain insights into assessing potential alternative and modification options, based on project type
Explore prior-approval requirements that may be associated with potential remedies

You’ll come away from this webinar ready to assess how COVID-19 affects the specific performance of your grant project, and to balance solutions with compliant strategies that minimize risk.
