During Submission – Sometimes allowed, but check solicitation rules. Clarify technical details or eligibility. ??

?? Navigating Federal Funding: Are You on the Right Path? ? Grants are awarded to support a public purpose authorized by federal law. They do not require substantial involvement from the federal agency during the performance of the funded activity. ? Contracts are used when the government acquires goods or services for its direct benefit. These involve specific deliverables and often require ongoing oversight. Understanding this distinction is key for organizations pursuing federal funding opportunities. Are you aiming to advance innovation through grants or provide solutions through contracts? ??
