NERACOOS undergoes an A-133 audit annually to ensure all activities, included subawards to domestic and foreign entities of federal funds, are in compliance with Circular A-133 for pass-through entities' responsibilities. This includes the following procedures relative to grant fund monitoring: 1. Requiring quarterly progress reports; 2. Review of subaward invoices for adherence to the subaward budget, allowable costs and activities, and progress reports; 3. Monthly conference calls with all subawardees as a group to discuss NERACOOS issues and have the subaward recipients report on progress; 4. Ensure subawards are used only for allowable activities. Additionally, the subaward agreements issued to foreign and domestic entities include the following stipulations: 1. Recipients must follow federal audit requirements for federal expenditures in accordance with A-133; 2. If any recipient has findings as the result of an audit, those results are provided to NERACOOS. NERACOOS has six months to issue a management decision on the findings to ensure that the subrecipient takes appropriate and timely action on the findings, and to consider if the findings necessitate an adjustment to the records of NERACOOS; 3. NERACOOS must be allowed access to each subrecipient's records and financial statements. 1 Applied Science Associates Inc 55 Village Square Drive South Kingstown RI 02879 050381942 8518 High Resolution Coastal Inundation Modeling and Advancement of Green Infrastructure and Living Shoreline Approaches in the Northeast Axiom Consulting and Design LLC 3424 Robin Street Anchorage AK 99504 208078209 119315 Improving Northeast Coast Storm-Related Data Interpretation and Accessibility Gulf of Maine Research Institute 350 Commercial Street Portland ME 04101 010504905 501(c)(3) 211743 Transitioning State-of-the-art Nutrient Sensing Technology to Develop an Operational Nutrient Observatory for NERACOOS; Improving Northeast Coast Storm-Related Data Interpretation and Accessibility; High Resolution Coastal Inundation Modeling and Advancement of Green Infrastructure and Living Shoreline Approaches in the Northeast; NERACOOS: The integrated ocean observing system for the northeast region Spaulding Environmental Associates LLC 1675B Ministerial Road Wakefield RI 02879 474958283 8775 High Resolution Coastal Inundation Modeling and Advancement of Green Infrastructure and Living Shoreline Approaches in the Northeast University of Connecticut 438 Whitney Road Extension Unit 1133 Storrs CT 06269 060772160 Government 446681 Continued development of the Northeastern Regional Coastal Ocean Observing System; Transitioning State-of-the-art Nutrient Sensing Technology to Develop an Operational Nutrient Observatory for NERACOOS; High Resolution Coastal Inundation Modeling and Advancement of Green Infrastructure and Living Shoreline Approaches in the Northeast; NERACOOS: The integrated ocean observing system for the northeast region University of Maine Office of Sponsored Programs 5717 Corbett Hall Orono ME 04669 016000769 Government 673989 Continued development of the Northeastern Regional Coastal Ocean Observing System; ransitioning State-of-the-art Nutrient Sensing Technology to Develop an Operational Nutrient Observatory for NERACOOS; High Resolution Coastal Inundation Modeling and Advancement of Green Infrastructure and Living Shoreline Approaches in the Northeast; NERACOOS: The integrated ocean observing system for the northeast region University of Massachusetts Dartmouth 285 Old Westport Road North Dartmouth MA 02747 043167352 Government 120741 Continued development of the Northeastern Regional Coastal Ocean Observing System; High Resolution Coastal Inundation Modeling and Advancement of Green Infrastructure and Living Shoreline Approaches in the Northeast; NERACOOS: The integrated ocean observing system for the northeast region University of New Hampshire 51 College Road Durham NH 03824 026000937 Government 573924 Continued development of the Northeastern Regional Coastal Ocean Observing System; ransitioning State-of-the-art Nutrient Sensing Technology to Develop an Operational Nutrient Observatory for NERACOOS; High Resolution Coastal Inundation Modeling and Advancement of Green Infrastructure and Living Shoreline Approaches in the Northeast; NERACOOS: The integrated ocean observing system for the northeast region University of Rhode Island 70 Lower College ROad Kingston RI 02881 223011455 Government 62547 Continued development of the Northeastern Regional Coastal Ocean Observing System; High Resolution Coastal Inundation Modeling and Advancement of Green Infrastructure and Living Shoreline Approaches in the Northeast; NERACOOS: The integrated ocean observing system for the northeast region WET Labs Inc 62 Applegate Street Philomath OR 97370 931072453 258853 Transitioning State-of-the-art Nutrient Sensing Technology to Develop an Operational Nutrient Observatory for NERACOOS Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution 266 Woods Hole Road Woods Hole MA 02543 042105850 501(c)(3) 73900 NERACOOS: The integrated ocean observing system for the northeast region 7 4 High Resolution Coastal Inundation Modeling and Advancement of Green Infrastructure and Living Shoreline Approaches in the Northeast 1 9281 Part I, Line 2: The grants awarded to other domestic organizations and individuals are sub-awards of federal grant monies awarded to NERACOOS.
