<div dir="ltr">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.
<div>Kind regards,</div>
