Comprehensive Grants Management Sample Clauses

Comprehensive Grants Management. HMA has supported many clients, including the State of Florida, in the management of various federal and state grants, such as those from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration. As part of our grants management approach, we develop a grants management team and grant management methodology designed to help clients achieve their goals for a variety of types of grants Our skilled professionals are knowledgeable of Florida and its operations and representative of the multiple stakeholders and work streams reflected through the grant. For instance, to manage the Xxxxxxxx Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act, HMA’s team would include at least one Florida-based SME, a colleague who has expertise implementing and managing FEMA grants, and additional SMEs to support the fiscal management, stakeholder engagement, and reporting requirements as needed. Whenever a grant opportunity emerges, HMA leverages both our breadth and depth of expertise in a particular market and with particular subject matter. For each opportunity, we first identify the subject matter and geographic expertise necessary to write a winning proposal. We then leverage the diverse skillsets of our consulting colleagues to create a team with the specific knowledge applicable to the grant, including the funder, applicant, geography, subject matter, target population, and program model. Once we identify appropriate team members, HMA develops a grant application summary and an application guide, both of which are essential to ensuring a smooth, efficient, and winning grant proposal development process. The grant application summary captures the most critical elements of the opportunity and highlights any requirements, including programmatic, technical, and financial requirements, that must be met. We research relevant regulations (which are often cited in the grant solicitation documents and become application requirements), billing schedules, provider manuals, and other relevant information sources, thus ensuring the program model we design with the client adheres to all relevant rules and requirements. Grants management typically involves outreach, engagement, and coordination with numerous stakeholders and requires accurate tracking and management of project funds using a fully transparent process to ensure accountability to both state and federal partners, as well as to other direct project stakeholders and, ultimately, to taxpayers.  Completing more than 70 grant wri...
