Period of Performance.

The recipient begins work and charges allowable costs, submits payment requests, and manages and monitors activities. Award revisions are made if needed. Interim reporting requirements will vary depending on program/award period/recipient type. Compliance concerns may arise (e.g. species found not previously known to be present or artifacts/remains are discovered). The Program Office monitors the recipient’s progress via performance and financial reporting.

The Program Office and recipient will conduct continued monitoring for real property, equipment, subrecipients, etc., if applicable. Records are maintained and audits may be conducted.
