THIS IS TYPICALLY DONE VIA SUB-AWARDS OR RE-GRANTS THAT RUN CONCURRENTLY WITH THE PRIME AWARD IN WHICH THE SUB RECIPIENTS ARE ADVISED OF ALL APPLICABLE LAWS AND REGULATIONS, AND ALL APPROPRIATE FLOW-DOWN PROVISIONS FROM THE PRIME AGREEMENT. ALL SUB GRANTEES OR SERVICE PROVIDERS MUST ALSO CERTIFY THAT THEY DO NOT AND WILL NOT KNOWINGLY PROVIDE MATERIAL SUPPORT OR RESOURCES TO ANY INDIVIDUAL OR ENTITY INVOLVED WITH TERRORISM (INCLUDING ANY INDIVIDUALS, ENTITIES, OR GROUPS SUBJECT TO OFAC SANCTIONS) OR TO ANYONE WHO ACTS AS AN AGENT FOR SUCH AN INDIVIDUAL OR ENTITY. ANY VIOLATION OF THIS CERTIFICATION MUST BE GROUNDS FOR IMMEDIATE TERMINATION OF THE LETTER OF AGREEMENT AND RETURN OF ALL GRANT FUNDS. THE FREQUENCY AND SCOPE OF THE RESEARCH PROGRAM'S MONITORING PROCEDURES ARE DETERMINED JOINTLY BY THE RESPONSIBLE PROGRAM MANAGER AND RESPECTIVE GRANT ADMINISTRATOR/FINANCIAL ANALYST. THIS INCLUDES THE ROUTINE RECEIPT AND REVIEW OF THE NARRATIVE AND FINANCIAL REPORTS, A REVIEW OF EXPENSES TO BUDGET, THE OPTION TO PERFORM AUDITS, AND ALLOWS FOR THE PERFORMANCE OF SITE VISITS IF NECESSARY. THE INSTITUTE SHOULD BE NOTIFIED WHENEVER PROBLEMS, DELAYS OR OTHER CONDITIONS DEVELOP WHICH WOULD HAVE SIGNIFICANT IMPACT UPON THE PROJECT. BUDGET REVISIONS ARE ALLOWED WITHIN THE PARAMETERS SET FORTH IN EACH SUB AWARD. THE PAYMENT SCHEDULE AND THE DECREE OF FLEXIBILITY OFFERED MAY DEPEND ON PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE WITH THE RECIPIENT, THE DEGREE OF EXTERNAL OVERSIGHT BY OTHER PARTIES, AND THE SOPHISTICATION OF THE RECIPIENT'S ADMINISTRATIVE SYSTEMS. PARTICIPANTS ARE EXPECTED TO COMPLY WITH ALL RELEVANT U.S. LAWS.
