Post Award Activities

Successful grants management requires a common understanding of processes and systems, prompt distribution of information, and effective communication between the project director and hospital administration.  Grants administration assists in this process by monitoring the flow of projects through the organization and ensuring compliance with hospital policies and procedures as well as the rules and guidelines of the grantor and relevant regulatory agencies.  After receiving notification of an award, ACH Grants Administration personnel are available to guide the project director through the remainder of the grant life cycle.  This includes financial management and program management oversight.  Activities conducted and supported by grants administration in conjunction with the project director include:
