Also,the webpage entitled"Legal Notices:Special circumstances as to particular award conditions"(ojp.gov/funding/Explore/LegalNotices-AwardReqts.htm)is to be consulted prior to an acceptance. Through that "Legal Notices"webpage,OJP sets out--by funding opportunity--certain special circumstances that may or will affect the applicability of one or more award requirements. Any such legal notice pertaining to award requirements that is posted through that webpage is incorporated by reference into the award. Please note that award requirements include not only award conditions,but also compliance with assurances and certifications that relate to conduct during the period of performance for the award.
