ReturnReference Explanation
ORGANIZATION'S PROCEDURES FOR MONITORING THE USE OF GRANT FUNDS SCHEDULE F, PART I, QUESTION 2 The University provides the necessary institutional review and approval which is required prior to the awarding of grant funds outside the U.S. Grant awards are not authorized for projects that have not been properly approved by the University. The Office of Research and Project Administration (ORPA) provides guidance on export controls, foreign travel voucher policies, approval verifications, foreign travel checklists, and Federal Aviation Administration waiver checklists. ORPA completes the restricted party screening process for payments to foreign organizations and individuals. The University also maintains a travel registration database which informs users of potentially relevant export control laws and similar concerns when they register for travel to particular destinations. In order to monitor and ensure appropriate use of non-U.S. grant funds, the University analyzes all project results and prepares financial reports that are reviewed at both the program and central office levels.
BEST AVAILABLE INFORMATION FOR TOTAL EXPENDITURES, NUMBER OF EMPLOYEES/AGENTS/INDEPENDENT CONTRACTORS IN REGION, AND NUMBER OF RECIPIENTS Schedule F, Part I, Part II, and Part III The University accounts for all foreign expendtures on the organization financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Activities outside the United States have been identified on a reasonable efforts basis where such activities were not tracked separately under the university's current accounting procedures. These reasonable efforts included reviews of financial records, interviews with University personnel, review of the University's website and publications, etc. Expenditures by region in Part I, Column (F) are based on actual expenditures where available under current accounting procedures. The estimate for Part I line 3 column(c) and Part III column (c) is based on historical surveys of employees/agents/contractors engaged in activities outside the U.S. and the average expenditures per person in each region. ACTIVITIES CONDUCTED IN REGION SCHEDULE F, PART I, QUESTION 3 Pursuant to IRS guidance, Part I, Line 3, column D detail for each type of activity conducted outside the United States for each region is shown on a separate line. Part I, Line 3, column E Program Services include research, education, travel, consulting, conferences, workshops, fellowship research, and study abroad programs.
Sub-awards Schedule F, Part II In furtherance of its research activities, Princeton University makes sub-awards to other foreign institutions that perform research in connection with research grants awarded to Princeton University. Princeton University does not categorize these sub-awards as "foreign activities" for Form 990, Schedule F reporting, since the foreign recipient organizations perform research services for the University and are considered independent contractors which serve the direct needs of the University.
Best available information for total number of tax-exempt recipient organizations and other organizations Schedule F, Part II, Lines 2 & 3 Both the total number of recipient organizations listed above that are recognized as charities by the foreign country, as well as the total number of other organizations or entities have been identified on a reasonable efforts basis where such organizations were not tracked separately under the Universitys current accounting procedures. These reasonable efforts included reviews of University financial records and historical surveys of past recipient organizations engaged in activities outside the U.S.
