2.2 Acceptance of Award and Award Conditions

Special Conditions

Special conditions are terms and conditions that are included with your award. Special conditions may include additional requirements covering areas such as programmatic and financial reporting, prohibited uses of Federal funds, consultant rates, changes in key personnel, and proper disposition of program income.

Some special conditions may be based on the program or the nature of the award itself. Regardless of the program office or the award, there are several mandatory special conditions that you will have with any DOJ award. A list of all the mandatory special conditions for each DOJ grant-making component is available at the following links:

This form is to be used by recipients of Federal funds to verify that persons are eligible to work in the United States.
