</span><u></u><u></u></p>
<p><span style="font-family:"Segoe UI Symbol",sans-serif;color:rgb(31,56,100)">Second, we’re in dire need of updated policies and procedures for grantees using federal funding, especially for capital projects. If you are willing to share, please
either point me to a website or even attach a document you’re currently using. We just redid our Risk Assessment and are looking for good Conflict of Interest, Procurement, Time & Effort Reporting, etc.. Basically, we’re trying to ensure we have what’s needed
and in plain English. I know I had conversations about some of this with many of you – but I wasn’t taking good notes.
