Grant funding accounts for approximately 16% of the Federal Government’s annual budget, making it critically important to properly manage those funds and help communities increase resilience while mitigating fraud, waste, and abuse. Although all grants management processes have some common elements, grant programs vary in hazard type, eligibility criteria, and statutory requirements. These differences make it difficult to effectively manage grants. We use technology and data to optimize grants management processes and outcomes.

At Definitive Logic, we optimize grants management by:

• •  Helping grant-making agencies improve programmatic effectiveness to increase their return on investment (ROI) and direct funds to projects that result in better outcomes for communities and individuals.
  • Combining our disaster and non-disaster program expertise with data science tools and analytical techniques to separate signal from noise, helping organizations maximize grant dollars to make a difference in our communities.
  • Integrating Federal governance and organizational policies into our processes as the work occurs, reducing administrative burden while increasing compliance with grants management (including monitoring and evaluation).

We survey the environment, inventory the systems/databases, acquire/integrate/cleanse/analyze data, and produce models that scientifically expose what is working versus not working.

The ongoing sustainment and growth of any grant program is predicated on its ability to deliver successful outcomes. Our tools and techniques ensure those investments are applied to the most appropriate programs and projects. We also factor in Federal requirements such as the Grant Reporting Efficiency and Agreements Transparency (GREAT) Act of 2019 (P.L. 116-103), which modernizes grant reporting, standardizes data, reduces burden on grant recipients, and increases transparency. The net result is better ROI and safer communities.

Our grants management subject matter experts, system engineers, data analysts, and data scientists are capable of leveling data across legacy and modern systems. Many grant programs – especially mature ones – are stored in multiple systems/databases and are difficult to navigate, let alone query and analyze. We survey the environment, inventory the systems/databases, acquire/integrate/cleanse/analyze data, and produce models that scientifically expose what is working versus not working.
