Federal Grant Forms: What Are They and What Do You Need to Do?

July 24, 2025

Navigating the various forms required by awarding agencies in the course of managing federal awards can be a daunting task, both because the form instructions are often inadequate and because the certifications at the bottom of many forms can suggest serious penalties for failure to properly complete them. 

This webinar is designed to provide practical guidance on the purposes of common grant forms, from certain portions of the Standard Form (“SF”)-424 and SF-425 to property-related forms, and indirect rate documentation, among others.  Join Feldesman attorney Scott S. Sheffler to walk through each form within the context of underlying legal requirements. 

Please note: This webinar is offered as a complimentary product to all Federal Grants Training Membership subscribers. For more information on our Federal Grants Training Membership, click here or contact us.

The on-demand version of this webinar will be available for purchase after the conclusion of the live webinar.
