via postal mail to the Tribe or Tribal 

entity. The NOA will be signed by the 

Grants Management Officer and this is 

the authorizing document under which

as the official notification of the grant 

award and will reflect the amount of 

Federal funds awarded for the purpose 

of the grant, the terms and conditions of 

the award, the effective date of the 

award, and the budget/project period. 

2. Administrative Requirements. 

Grants are administered in accordance 

with the following documents: 

• This Program Announcement. 

• 45 CFR Part 74, ‘‘Uniform 

Administrative Requirements for 

Awards to Institutions of Higher 

Education, Hospitals, Other Non Profit

This section applies to indirect costs 

in accordance with HHS Grants Policy

applicants to have a current indirect 

cost rate agreement in place prior to 

award. The rate agreement must be 

prepared in accordance with the 

applicable cost principles and guidance 

as provided by the cognoscente agency 

or office. A current rate means the rate 

covering the applicable activities and 

the award budget period. If the current 

rate is not on file with the awarding 

office, the award shall include funds for 

reimbursement of indirect costs. 

However, the indirect costs portion will 

remain restricted until the current rate 

is provided to the DGO. 

4. Reporting. 

A. Progress Report. Program progress 

reports are required quarterly by the 

National HIV Program in order to satisfy 

quarterly reports due to the funding 

source at Minority AIDS Initiative 

(MAI). These reports (due midNovember, February, May, August) will 

include quantitative data as well as a 

brief comparison of actual 

accomplishments to the goals 

established for the period per the 

implementation plan, reasons for delays 

or milestones not attained (if 

applicable), and other pertinent 

information as required. An Assessment 

and Evaluation Report must be 

submitted within 30 days of the end of 

each funded year. 

B. Financial Status Report. Semiannual financial status reports must be 

submitted within 30 days of the end of 

the half year. Final financial status 

reports are due within 90 days of 

expiration of the budget period.

C. Participation in a minimum of two 

teleconferences. Teleconferences will be 

required semi-annually (unless further 

follow up is needed) for Technical 

Assistance to be provided and progress 

to be shared. 

D. Site visits. Tribal sites using MAI 

resources should be amenable to the 

possibility of site visits by IHS staff 

administering MAI funds. 

Failure to submit required reports 

within the time allowed may result in 

suspension or termination of an active 

agreement, withholding of additional 

awards for the project, or other 

enforcement actions such as 

withholding of payments or converting 

to the reimbursement method of 

payment. Continued failure to submit 

required reports may result in one or 

both of the following: (1) The 

imposition of special award provisions; 

and (2) the non-funding or non-award of 

other eligible projects or activities. This 

applies whether the delinquency is 

attributable to the failure of the 

organization or the individual 

responsible for preparation of the 

reports.
