Question 1

A 'continuation grant' in prevention funding is best described as:

A subsequent-year award to an existing grantee to continue an approved project

A continuation grant is a non-competitive renewal award given to a current grantee to fund subsequent budget periods of an already-approved, multi-year project.

Question 2

Which financial management practice is required for federal grant recipients to ensure funds are used appropriately?

Accepted Answer

Maintaining a separate accounting system that tracks grant expenditures by project

Answer

Federal grantees must maintain financial management systems that separately track grant funds by award, enable expenditure reconciliation, and prevent co-mingling of funds from different sources.

Question 3

The use of 'braided funding' in prevention programs means:

Accepted Answer

Coordinating multiple funding streams to support a single program while each source maintains its own requirements

Answer

Braided funding coordinates multiple funding streams (each with its own restrictions) to serve the same population or project without violating any individual funder's requirements.

Question 4

Which grant writing strategy is most effective when a funder's RFP emphasizes community collaboration?

Accepted Answer

Documenting formal partnerships with letters of commitment from collaborating organizations

Letters of commitment from established partners demonstrate existing collaborative relationships and shared investment in the program, which directly responds to funders' emphasis on community collaboration.

Accepted Answer

Expend $750,000 or more in federal awards in a single fiscal year

Answer

Under the Uniform Guidance (2 CFR Part 200), non-federal entities that expend $750,000 or more in federal awards during a fiscal year must undergo a single audit.
