Explanation	EIP OCCASIONALLY GIVES SUBGRANTS WHEN JOINT PROPOSALS ARE SUBMITTED TO ONE FUNDER. THE FUNDER DISBURSES A LUMP SUM, AND EIP PAYS THE PARTNER ORGANIZATION'S PORTION AS A SUBGRANT UPON RECEIPT OF AN INVOICE. EIP DOES NOT REQUIRE REPORTS FROM THE SUBGRANTEE; JOINT REPORTS FROM EIP AND THE SUBGRANTEE ARE PROVIDED DIRECTLY TO THE FUNDER. SINCE SUBGRANTEES ARE ALSO PARTNERS ON THE PROJECT, THERE IS COORDINATION BETWEEN ORGANIZATIONS THROUGHOUT THE LIFE OF THE GRANT AND THERE IS CONSTANT COMMUNICATION BETWEEN EIP AND SUBGRANTEES.
