How Will You Know If You Are Funded?
The grant announcement, RFP or RFA, may include information about the timeframes for grant review and announcement. This information may or may not be provided depending on the agency or program. If it is provided, it is usually stated in general terms. The grant review and notice of award process is very difficult to predict with accuracy. Therefore, organizations should not depend on grant funding to be available by a specific time.
Notice of grant awards are provided in writing to the grant recipients, and recipients are listed in Federal agency announcements and on their websites. Under no circumstances should your organization begin operating a grant program or expend dollars related to the grant program until you are notified of the award, a grant agreement is signed and your organization is officially authorized to begin program operations by the awarding Federal agency.
