Compliance Matters

Researchers are responsible for using grant or award funds in accordance with the policies of the Agencies, including the听 and Agency grants and awards guides.听 They are also responsible for providing true, complete and accurate information on documentation for expenditures from grant or award accounts.

Using grant or award for purposes inconsistent with the policies of the Agencies; misappropriating grants and award funds; contravening Agency financial policies; providing incomplete, inaccurate or false information on documentation for expenditures from grant or award accounts all constitute breaches of the Agencies鈥� policies.

Non-compliance could result in freezing or closing of grants, repayment of expenses or the Agency can terminate grants or declare that the researcher is ineligible to apply for future funding.听 Non-compliance does not just affect one grantee, but the institution as a whole.
