PROGRAM INFORMATION

Award Administration

Following award selection, MUSC will notify each applicant regarding the disposition of the application. Applicants not receiving an award who wish to receive feedback may request a written critique by contacting MUSC.

The program sponsors reserve the right to fund, in whole or in part, any, all, or none of the applications submitted.

All extensions of awards are based on similar reservations including the continuing availability of funds.

If multiple applications are submitted by the same institution, a maximum of only one award will be made to that institution.  Selection of the award will be based on merit.

Each award recipient is required to provide an annual report. The deadline and specifications for content of these reports will be indicated in the award letter.

All annual reports must describe progress and accomplishments achieved during the year.

Monthly invoicing by the award universities is required. Invoices shall summarize reimbursable costs as related to the direct expenditures of the award.

Invoices shall summarize costs under the following categories:

-Personal Services
-Fringe Benefits
-Materials and Supplies
-Travel
-Equipment
-Subcontracts and Consultants
-Other Direct Costs

The invoice will also account for the cost-share associated with the award.

The award recipient must immediately notify MUSC if, for any reason, the university is not able to perform the tasks as outlined in the proposal or if there is a decrease in the costs as they were listed in the proposal.  Cost increases will most likely not be approved.
