How to Conduct Pre-Award Review of Potential Subrecipients
April 12, 2012 Webinar - Listen On-Demand or Get a CD!
“Is this an organization that we can rely on to properly handle the federal funds that they’ve asked us for?” That’s a question that every federal grant recipient that is involved in subgranting should ask before they let a dime out the door. Unfortunately, it is not one that is asked often enough. And, if it is asked, it is not always effectively answered.
The consequence too often is a subgrant that has gone bad because of weak subgrantee management systems, noncompliance with federal requirements, poor performance and results or all of the above! But, just as often, that situation could have been prevented or mitigated through the conduct of a solid pre-award review of the subgrant applicant.

Making a proper decision about whether a potential subgrantee is one that your organization wants to do business with can be one of the most important steps in the process of managing your federal grants. And, while there are some hints in key federal policy documents, the federal government doesn’t provide recipients with a “cook book” about how to make the decision.
This webinar session will pull those hints together with an identification of key best practices to help you conduct the kind of pre-award review that will reduce the likelihood that some of your subgrantees will make you wish you never heard of them. Major topics will include:
- What are the federal requirements?
- What kinds of questions should be built into the subgrant application process?
- What kinds of document submissions should you demand?
- What databases must you or can you use for due diligence?
- What factors should be used in assessing risk?
- How do you assess subgrantee business management systems?
- How should the pre-award review be staffed?
- How to fashion special subgrant conditions if risk is high?
