A 'continuation grant' in prevention funding is best described as:
Answer: 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.
Which financial management practice is required for federal grant recipients to ensure funds are used appropriately?
Answer: Maintaining a separate accounting system that tracks grant expenditures by project
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.
The use of 'braided funding' in prevention programs means:
Answer: Coordinating multiple funding streams to support a single program while each source maintains its own requirements
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.
Which grant writing strategy is most effective when a funder's RFP emphasizes community collaboration?
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.
A 'single audit' (formerly A-133 audit) is required for non-federal entities that:
Answer: Expend $750,000 or more in federal awards in a single fiscal year
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.
When a grant officer requests a 'no-cost extension' (NCE), the primary reason is typically to:
Answer: Allow additional time to complete project activities without adding funds
A no-cost extension extends the period of performance so the grantee can complete planned activities using already-approved funds without receiving additional money.
The 'abstract' section of a federal prevention grant application is important because:
Answer: It provides a concise summary of the project and may be made public upon award
The abstract is a brief synopsis (usually 1 page) of the project's goals, methods, and target population, and is often published publicly when the grant is awarded to inform the field.
