| Pt I Line 2 | Organic Farming Research Foundation procedure for monitoring the use of |
| grant funds in the United States: | |
| OFRF has a multi level process to ensure that grants funds are spend appropriately. | |
| I. Competitive selection process. OFRF uses a competitive process to identify | |
| high quality organic research and education projects to fund. The request | |
| for proposals mandates that applicants thoroughly explain their scientific | |
| methodology including the experimental design and contains explicit language | |
| about what kinds of costs can and cannot be included in proposal budgets. | |
| II. Committee Review. Each proposal is carefully scrutinized by a panel of | |
| 7 board members with expertise in organic farming, research and marketing. | |
| The criteria used to assess proposals include use of a scientifically sound | |
| methodology. An important part of the review process involves ensuring that | |
| project methods are valid and that budget line items are reasonable and fit | |
| within the funding requirements. | |
| III. Board review. The full board reviews all proposals forwarded to them | |
| by committee, including further scrutiny of the scientific methodology and | |
| additional budget review to ensure that all proposed costs are appropriate. | |
| IV. Conflict of Interest Policy. The Foundation operates under a conflict | |
| of interest policy regardings its grant making activities that bars any board | |
| or staff members from applying for a grant. Board members must declare any | |
| personal conflict or interest (as defined in the policy) and leave the room | |
| during discussion and are unable to vote on any grant proposal this identified | |
| as such. | |
| V. Grant Contract. OFRF Grant recipients are required to sign and return a | |
| contract that specifies that their funds will only be used to carry out the | |
| objectives as described in the original grant proposal. Use of funds for indirect | |
| costs or for any purpose inconsistent with OFRF's 51(c)(3) status is | |
| specifically prohibited. | |
| VI. Holdback of final 10% and report evaluation of the last 10% of the full grant | |
| award is held back until submission of a final report and evaluation of the report | |
| to ensure that originally funded objectives were met. The grant program | |
| manager conducts a technical evaluation of the report to ensure that the data | |
| are scientifically valid. |
