The Federal Grant and Cooperative Act of 1977 provides guidance for federal agencies on whether a grant or a cooperative agreement is appropriate for achieving program objectives, taking into account factors such as the nature of the program, the goal of the federal investment, the relationship between the federal government and the recipient, and the degree of federal involvement in project planning and implementation. The act requires that agencies use grants or cooperative agreements rather than contracts in most cases where the primary purpose is to support the non-federal entity's program, rather than acquiring goods or services for the federal government.
