Post-Award Compliance Monitoring
Overview
Post-award compliance is where federal grant management gets complex — and where most tools stop. GrantsPath monitors your active awards for reporting deadlines, executive order impacts, and compliance conditions, surfacing issues before they become audit findings.
This feature is available on Sovereign plan and above.
What Gets Monitored
Reporting deadlines — Performance reports, financial reports (SF-425), and program-specific deliverables. Generated automatically from award terms when you import an award.Executive order impacts — Policy changes that affect active awards. When a new executive order is published that may affect a program area where you hold an active award, GrantsPath flags it with a risk assessment.Compliance conditions — Award-specific conditions that require attention, drawn from the Notice of Award terms.How Compliance Events Appear
Calendar — Reporting deadlines appear as amber events. Click to see the requirement and start drafting.Award dashboard — Each active award shows its compliance status: upcoming deadlines, overdue items, and risk flags.Email notifications — Configurable alerts for approaching deadlines (14 days, 7 days, 1 day).Getting Started
