About the Federal Grants Management Handbook
The Federal Grants Management Handbook is a comprehensive guide to all of the steps recipients must follow to ensure government-wide compliance with complex administrative requirements for federal grants. From submitting grant proposals to setting up financial management systems for payment and reporting to audits and grant closeout, the Handbook covers every aspect of the grants award and management life cycle and is thoroughly indexed and cross-referenced for easy use. All of the primary source documents grant recipients need are included — OMB circulars, Treasury regulations and other government-wide policies such as lobbying restrictions, debarment and nondiscrimination. Throughout the Handbook, readers find helpful compliance tools such as checklists, sample forms and proven methods of grant management compliance. Newsletters and Handbook updates provide timely news and analysis. For more information, see http://www.thompson.com.
