Pt I Line 2Organic Farming Research Foundation procedure for monitoring the use of
Pt I Line 2grant funds in the United States:
Pt I Line 2OFRF has a multi level process to ensure that grants funds are spend appropriately.
Pt I Line 2I. Competitive selection process. OFRF uses a competitive process to identify
Pt I Line 2high quality organic research and education projects to fund. The request
Pt I Line 2for proposals mandates that applicants thoroughly explain their scientific
Pt I Line 2methodology including the experimental design and contains explicit language
Pt I Line 2about what kinds of costs can and cannot be included in proposal budgets.
Pt I Line 2II. Committee Review. Each proposal is carefully scrutinized by a panel of
Pt I Line 27 board members with expertise in organic farming, research and marketing.
Pt I Line 2The criteria used to assess proposals include use of a scientifically sound
Pt I Line 2methodology. An important part of the review process involves ensuring that
Pt I Line 2project methods are valid and that budget line items are reasonable and fit
Pt I Line 2within the funding requirements.
Pt I Line 2III. Board review. The full board reviews all proposals forwarded to them
Pt I Line 2by committee, including further scrutiny of the scientific methodology and
Pt I Line 2additional budget review to ensure that all proposed costs are appropriate.
Pt I Line 2IV. Conflict of Interest Policy. The Foundation operates under a conflict
Pt I Line 2of interest policy regardings its grant making activities that bars any board
Pt I Line 2or staff members from applying for a grant. Board members must declare any
Pt I Line 2personal conflict or interest (as defined in the policy) and leave the room
Pt I Line 2during discussion and are unable to vote on any grant proposal this identified
Pt I Line 2as such.
Pt I Line 2V. Grant Contract. OFRF Grant recipients are required to sign and return a
Pt I Line 2contract that specifies that their funds will only be used to carry out the
Pt I Line 2objectives as described in the original grant proposal. Use of funds for indirect
Pt I Line 2costs or for any purpose inconsistent with OFRF's 51(c)(3) status is
Pt I Line 2specifically prohibited.
Pt I Line 2VI. Holdback of final 10% and report evaluation of the last 10% of the full grant
Pt I Line 2award is held back until submission of a final report and evaluation of the report
Pt I Line 2to ensure that originally funded objectives were met. The grant program
Pt I Line 2manager conducts a technical evaluation of the report to ensure that the data
Pt I Line 2are scientifically valid.
