In order to accept your agency's grant, the Authorized Official must complete, verify, and sign the Grantee Acceptance Notice, then fax it to CJD at (512) 475-2440 within 45 days of the issue date. Once the grant is properly accepted and all conditions of funding have been met, grantees may request reimbursement for expenditures obligated during the grant period by completing a Request for Funds form and submitting it to CJD. CJD will also email Expenditure Reports to the financial officer or a designated alternate fmancial contact person at the end of each calendar quarter. The reports are due back to CJD by the date specified on the report. The Public Policy Research Institute (PPRI) at Texas A&M University will send a detailed information packet to the Project Director containing progress reporting forms and instructions on completing and submitting those forms.
