Post-Award Compliance Analyzer
Extract sponsor compliance requirements and generate tracking checklists
What You Can Do
Upload award documents and let Claude automatically extract all sponsor compliance requirements, compare them against your current processes, and generate a customized compliance tracking checklist. You'll identify compliance gaps, align deadlines, and receive a prioritized action plan to ensure full post-award compliance.
Features
Parses award documents, grants, and sponsor guidelines to identify all compliance obligations, reporting deadlines, and procedural requirements
Compares extracted requirements against your existing policies and procedures to identify missing controls, outdated processes, or coverage gaps
Creates actionable, task-based checklists with ownership assignments, deadlines, and dependencies organized by compliance area
Prioritizes compliance items by regulatory risk level, financial impact, and likelihood of sponsor audit or enforcement action
Extracts and organizes all reporting, certification, and submission deadlines into a timeline with escalation milestones
Cross-references sponsor requirements against federal regulations (2 CFR, OMB circulars, NSF/NIH/DOE policies) to flag inconsistencies or interpretation issues
Compares compliance requirements across multiple awards to identify conflicts, redundancies, or differing sponsor expectations
Example Output

Critical Priority (Audit Triggers)
- Submit Cost Share Documentation to sponsor by 2026-09-15 (Owner: Finance, Risk: High)
- Certify Effort Reporting Compliance monthly, next due 2026-08-31 (Owner: HR/PI, Risk: High)
- Maintain Conflict of Interest disclosures (updated annually, last reviewed 2026-01-15)
Gap Identified: No current process for monthly effort certification—add to HR compliance calendar
Medium Priority (Standard Reporting)
- Quarterly Progress Report due 2026-10-01 (Owner: Project Manager)
- Equipment Inventory Review due 2026-11-30 (Owner: Facilities)
Regulatory Notes: Cost sharing requirement (20%) exceeds institution standard (10%)—requires CFO pre-award review for future awards
Deadline Summary: 8 items, 5 unique deadlines, 3 recurring obligations
Conflict Alert: Sponsor requires quarterly reports; Award #XYZ789 (same PI) requires semi-annual—reconcile reporting schedule
