What is the STRIPES Financial Assistance (FA) module?
• A STRIPES FA is a module that provides a simplified and standardized solution to all aspects of financial assistance management. It guides users through each phase of the financial assistance process from initiation of the funding opportunity to award and post award management. Comprehensive tracking of communication, actions, funds and deliverables ensures complete management control and compliance with all Federal posting and reporting mandates. STRIPES FA has been configured for the DOE financial assistance program by a team representing DOEs diverse financial assistance programs. For each funding opportunity to be posted, STRIPES FA enables DOE to: define selection criteria that can be completed and submitted electronically by the applicant; establish the team to manage the application review; track and analyze the input from all team members to ease the award process.
