Grants & Infrastructure Webinar Series

The federal government awards billions of dollars in grants annually to fund public service, support non-profits, drive research initiatives and fund programs for colleges and universities.  With the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (the “Act”), the Federal Government is poised to launch $1.2 trillion into the economy, providing funding to commercial entities through federal grants over the next 5 years, which will impact the infrastructure of this country for the next generation.  Like government contracts, federal grants have their own myriad of regulatory requirements that each grant recipient must meet and which are flowed down to subrecipients and subcontractors.  

The Act’s implications will undoubtedly be far-reaching. We anticipate that, consistent with the above, a substantial portion of this grant funding will work its way into numerous contemplated (or existing) state and local projects, facilitated by the Act.

Our webinar series will explore the following: 

Tuesday, March 1 (1:00-2:00 pm ET)
We will explore federal grant requirements including: 

• Grant types and eligibility 
• Cost allowability and related considerations 
• Recent Uniform Guidance changes
• Key administrative issues and grant management
• Audits and investigations and recent government action 

Our speakers will also discuss best practices and how preparation earlier in the process can ease the burden of administration, mitigate risks, and better prepare grant recipients for government inquiries and audits.

Speakers: Lorraine Campos, Cherie Owen, Payal Nanavati, Erin Rankin

Regional Webinar Series 
We will then proceed to our regional webinar series, in which we will dive deep into existing and/or planned infrastructure projects in particular regions across the United States.  In each hour-long regional webinar, we will explore:

• Noteworthy projects associated with the Act
• Contractors’ eligibility to conduct business in a particular state/commonwealth
• Procurement requirements and funding sources
• Bid Protest regulations and procedures
• Additional factors that could impact contract/grant award and contract performances
