Hi from UT, new Grants Coordinator here... We have an email out to Teri
about the reporting period. I noticed that all the orders refer to
11/4/2024 so I am assuming it will be around that time frame. We just got
out of a meeting on this and feel like we're in good shape here, but also
plan to meet with our attorney to verify. I'll reply when we have more
information on the reporting period... We discussed that it would be good
if we were all on the same page with that, and did exactly that.
Kind regards,
Melanie
