ReturnReference Explanation
PART I, LINE 2: GRANTS FROM WITHIN AND OUTSIDE USA ARE MONITORED IN THE SAME WAY. AN OFFICIAL AT AN INSTITUTION IS ASKED TO ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITIES FOR ADMINISTERING THE GRANTS. THAT OFFICIAL SIGNS A LETTER OR APPLICATION FORM, AGREEING TO THE RESPONSIBILITY, WHILE APPLYING FOR A GRANT. WHEN GRANTS ARE AWARDED, THE FUNDS FOR THE GRANTS ARE SENT TO THAT OFFICIAL WITH A COVER LETTER IN THE FORM OF A CHECK MADE OUT TO THE INSTITUTION, AND NOT TO ANY INDIVIDUAL PERSON; AND THE INSTITION IS EXPECTED TO ACCEPT ALL RESPONSIBILITIES FOR DISBURSING AND ACCOUNTING FOR THE FUNDS. THE STATUS OF THE UNIVERSITY OR PROFESSIONAL SOCIETY IS VERIFIED BY ASKING THEM TO COMPLETE IRS W-8/W-9 FORM AND SUBMIT A SIGNED, AUTHORIZED STATEMENT THAT THE UNIVERSITY OR PROFESSIONAL SOCIETY IS A NOT-FOR-PROFIT AGENCY FOR IRS PURPOSES. DECISIONS ABOUT GRANTS ARE MADE (A) FOR RESEARCH GRANTS AND DISTINGUISHED SCHOLAR GRANTS BY ALL MEMBERS OF BOARD OF DIRECTORS AT ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING, AFTER RECEIVING EXPERT PEER REVIEWS OF THE RESEARCH PROPOSED; AND THE DECISIONS ARE RECORDED IN MINUTES OF THE MEETING; (B) FOR ROUNDTABLE GRANTS BY A SUBCOMMITTEE OF THREE MEMBERS OF BOARD OF DIRECTORS; AND (C) FOR DISSERTATION GRANTS BY TWO MEMBERS OF BOARD OF DIRECTORS (ON A ROTATING BASIS SUCH THAT EACH BOARD MEMBER REVIEWS THREE OR FOUR GRANT APPLICATIONS PER YEAR). UPON COMPLETION OF THE RESEARCH PROJECT (USUALLY ONE OR TWO YEARS) OR ACTIVITY (E.G. A CONFERENCE), A BRIEF SUMMARY STATEMENT DESCRIBING THE RESULTS AND ACCOUNTING FOR THE EXPENSES DISBURSED ARE ASKED TO BE PREPARED, AND KEPT BY EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR IN THE OFFICE FILE EITHER IN ELECTRONIC OR PRINTED FORM, DEPENDING ON HOW IT WAS RECEIVED, FOR A PERIOD OF FIVE YEARS ACCORDING TO DOCUMENT DESTRUCTION POLICY. ON AN ANNUAL BASIS, THE REVIEW OF ALL COMPLETED GRANTS IS MADE BY EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR; AND A FINAL REPORT REQUESTED, IF NOT AVAILABLE.IN A SMALL NUMBER OF CASES, RESEARCHERS ASK FOR EXTENSION OF TIME PERIOD FOR RESEARCH BASED ON UNFORESEEN CIRCUMSTANCES SUCH AS NOT BEING ABLE TO RECRUIT PARTICIPANTS, AND IN SUCH SCENARIOS, SUCH REQUESTS ARE GRANTED FOR UPTO ONE ADDITIONAL YEAR.
SCHEDULE F PART I LINE 2 THE GRANT RECEPIENT RECEIVES THE MONEY THROUGH THE UNIVERSITY OR ASSOCIATION AND HAS TO SUBMIT REPORTS. THE REPORTS USUALLY HAVE SCHOLARLY RESULTS AND SOMETIMES A PUBLISHED ARTICLE. THE FINAL REPORT HAS A SUMMARY FINANCIAL STATEMENT OF HOW THE FUNDS HAVE BEEN ALLOCATED. THE UNIVERSITY OR PROFESSIONAL ASSOCIATIONS ARE ALSO OVERSEEING THE GRANTS FROM WITH IN THEIR RESEARCH AND FINANCIAL OFFICES AND THEY ALSO PROVIDE A FINAL REPORT.
