You got the Notice of Award. Now what?

This free checklist walks you through the first three months of a new grant in the order things need to happen. It covers award setup, IRB and regulatory approvals, hiring, subcontracts and agreements, planning, communications, and your first progress report.

It also flags the items that trip people up. Hiring often takes 6 to 12 weeks, and nothing can be billed until subcontracts are fully executed. Every item has a space for an owner and a date, so your whole team knows who is doing what.

Built for PIs, project managers, and coordinators on federal or foundation awards. Adapt the timelines to your institution.
