Summary

Grant recipients must keep the records the Secretary requires. Those records must show how much grant money was received and how it was spent, the total cost of the project funded, how much of the project cost came from other sources, and any other information needed for a proper audit. If grant money is not spent for its intended use during the first five years after the initial award, it can be carried into the next five-year period and spent then, but only if it was already committed to that purpose during the first five years.
