        <Explanation>The NDHC grant program is limited to nonprofit organizations; for-profit organizations and individuals are ineligible for grants. All grant applicants are required to submit a written application describing the proposed project in detail along with a budget which conforms to NDHC guidelines. Successful applicants sign a grant agreement and submit program evaluation reports and a final expenditure report to the NDHC at the end of the project. Larger grantees are subject to the audit requirements of OMB Circular A-133; any findings related to the expenditure of NDHC grant funds are required to be reported to the NDHC office for review.</Explanation>

The Chair also monitors the outside activities of the Executive Director to ensure that no actual or potential conflicts of interest are taking place. Employees are required to disclose to the Executive Director any outside activities which could be considered an actual or potential conflict of interest.</Explanation>
