Award Advisors Capabilities

Federal Award Strategy & Proposal Development

Award Advisors supports clients through every step of the pre-award process — from identifying the right opportunities to producing competitive, compliant applications. We help organizations analyze strategic fit, develop compelling narratives, and prepare accurate budgets and justifications for grants, cooperative agreements, contracts, and OTAs. Our team ensures submissions meet technical and eligibility requirements while positioning the applicant for successful negotiation and award.

Compliance & Audit Readiness

Our compliance advisors help organizations reduce risk and maintain audit-readiness across all award types. We conduct post-award monitoring reviews, mock audits, and internal control assessments to identify potential gaps before external oversight occurs. From implementing FAR 52.204-21 safeguards to documenting policies and corrective actions, we bring a pragmatic approach that strengthens compliance without slowing performance.

Cost Allocation & Financial Strategy

We help clients maximize allowable cost recovery and develop defensible, compliant financial frameworks. Our team designs and reviews cost allocation plans, develops indirect cost rate proposals, and provides forward-looking budget modeling and forecasting. With deep understanding of 2 CFR 200, FAR 31, and OTA cost guidance, we align financial strategy with each organization’s operating reality and funding mix.

ERP Optimization & Systems Integration

Award Advisors helps organizations connect their enterprise systems to the realities of federal award management. We optimize ERP configurations for grants and contracts, streamline workflows, and map internal controls to compliance requirements. Our work integrates ERP, financial, and award-reporting data so organizations gain visibility and control across the full lifecycle of their federal portfolios.

Project Management & Operational Delivery

Award Advisors brings disciplined project management to complex award environments. We establish PMOs, define milestones and deliverables, and monitor risk, resources, and progress in real time. Our approach combines traditional and agile methods to keep multi-award programs on schedule, within budget, and fully aligned with compliance and performance objectives.

Training & Capacity Building

We believe lasting success comes from strong internal capability. Award Advisors delivers tailored training that empowers teams to manage awards with confidence. From cost allocation and compliance workshops to ERP and data-reporting sessions, we strengthen both program and finance staff. Our executive briefings also help leadership anticipate oversight trends and emerging requirements.
