Definition

Legal instrument used to establish a funding relationship between a sponsor (grantor) and grantee, in order to carry out a public purpose of support or stimulation in which the sponsor does not expect to be substantially involved.

A grant may be for any purpose and cover all or only part of the costs of the project in question. You must enter a grant type for each grant you create in Grants Management (GM).

The grant as an object has a finite lifecycle, divided into stages. Each stage is represented in the GM solution by a system status. The following are the stages of a grant's lifecycle:

  • Initial Draft
    • This is the first stage of a grant. It is a working copy that can be modified as many times as needed.
  • Proposal
    • When the initial draft becomes a formal and complete document, it becomes a proposal.
  • Application
    • When a proposal is routed to the sponsor for approval, it becomes an application. This application might contain changes in the budget or other adjustments.
  • Award
    • If the sponsor approves an application, an award is created. This is the real operative stage of a grant. The creation and consumption of the grant's budget occurs at this stage. This stage also represents the binding contract between the sponsor and the grantee.
  • Closing
    • When an award is expiring, a phase of closing is established. Only restricted operations can be performed in this stage.
  • Closed
    • This stage defines an expired and closed grant. No further operations are allowed except archiving.
