2021/07/28 Council Agenda Packet

Award recipients will be required to submit performance measure data in BJA's Performance Measurement Tool (PMT) located at https://blapmt.olp.gov/help/JAGDocs.html and separately submit a semiannual performance report in JustGrants. Further guidance on the post -award submission process will be provided, if selected for award. Note on Project Evaluations An applicant that proposes to use award funds through this solicitation to conduct project evaluations must follow the guidance under "Note on Project Evaluations" in the OJP Grant Application Resource Guide. Budget and Associated Documentation Budget Worksheet and Budget Narrative (attachment) See the OJP Grant Application Resource Guide for additional information. Please note that the budget narrative should include a full description of all costs, including funds set aside for the NIBRS project(s) and administrative costs (if applicable). Any costs associated with disparate localities should be noted in the "subaward" category of the budget detail worksheet General requirement for federal authorization of any subaward; statutory authorization of subawards under the JAG Program statute. Generally, a recipient of an OJP award may not make subawards ("subgrants") unless the recipient has specific federal authorization to do so. Unless an applicable statute or DOJ regulation specifically authorizes (or requires) particular subawards, a recipient must have authorization from OJP before it may make a subaward. However, JAG subawards that are required or specifically authorized by statute (see 34 U.S.C. § 10152(a) and 34 U.S.C. § 10156) do not require prior approval. This includes subawards made by states and units of local government under the JAG Program. For additional information regarding subawards and authorizations, please refer to the subaward section in the OJP Grant Application Resource Guide. Indirect Cost Rate Agreement Applicants will submit their indirect cost rate agreement by uploading the agreement as an attachment in JustGrants. See the OJP Grant Application Resource Guide for additional information. This rule does not eliminate or alter the JAG -specific restriction in federal law that states charges for administrative costs may not exceed 10 percent of the award amount, regardless of the approved indirect cost rate. Financial Management and System of Internal Controls Questionnaire (including applicant disclosure of high -risk status) Applicants will download the questionnaire in JustGrants and submit by uploading the completed questionnaire as an attachment in JustGrants. See the OJP Grant Application Resource Guide for additional information. 18
