The Office of the Lieutenant Governor of Guam was awarded a $900,000 project grant from the Department of the Interior's Insular Affairs office under the Economic, Social, and Political Development of the Territories federal grant program (CFDA 15.875). The grant will allow the Office to contract for grants management capacity building and enhanced grant performance training through September 2025. Mandatory training will cover topics such as the introduction to grants and cooperative agreements, monitoring grants, and the Uniform Administrative Requirements. Recommended additional topics include indirect cost rates, business management systems for grant recipients, and procuring goods and services under federal grants. The training aims to address Guam's systemic grant management challenges and enhance its ability to leverage scarce resources by improving outcomes for all stakeholders, including the Department of the Interior, when managing growing federal program funding resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic.
