Federal Grant Awards

Annotated descriptions of Federal Grant Awards Search and Detail pages in GovTribe

A grant is an award of financial assistance from a federal agency to a recipient to carry out a public project or service authorized by a United States law. Unlike loans, grants do not need to be repaid. Most grants are awarded to state and local governments. On this site, you’ll see reference to several types of grants, including block grants, formula grants, project grants, and cooperative agreements.

In GovTribe, the Awards section of the main menu contains the award information and obligations for every federal contract, contract IDV, contracting vehicle, and grant. The Federal Grant Award data on GovTribe is acquired weekly from a single source: grants.gov

Award information is searchable on GovTribe, via the Awards section of the navigation menu.

The first three items of this menu section are related to federal contracts. The fourth menu item allows you to search for Federal Grant Awards, as described in this document.
