Grant Agreement
What is this form?
A Grant Agreement is a legal document that outlines the terms and conditions for financial assistance provided by a federal awarding agency or a pass-through entity to a non-federal entity. This agreement serves as a formal contract that memorializes the specifics of the funding and ensures both parties are legally bound to comply with the terms stipulated within the document. Unlike other funding agreements, a Grant Agreement specifically details the obligations related to grant funds, project deliverables, and compliance with federal regulations.
