How it makes and monitors grants (Schedule I, Part IV)

Each grant requires reporting that is submitted according to the duration of the grant, the amount of the grant, and the funders requests. all grants require final narrative and financial reporting due within 90 days of the grant end date. the narrative reports state the work that was carried out on the grant to ensure it falls within the specific aims outlined in the proposal. the financial reports show the original budget versus the actual expenses. if a funder requests it, a multi year grant will require an interim financial report to be reviewed and approved before the next year of funding is sent. all multi year grants require narrative reports to be reviewed and approved before the next year of funding is sent. grants where the funder does not request interim financial reports allow for automatic carryover of the grant funds. all unspent grant funds are returned to afar after the grant end date. more specific details on the reporting are shown via our reporting instructions via this link: https:// www.afar.org/administrative-guidelines. grantees are chosen using a thorough selection process. application guidelines and deadlines are posted on our website. applications are collected and undergo an administrative review to make sure guidelines are met. the applicants that make it past the first round are presented to a scientific committee and afar staff members who review each application. reviewers discuss each applicant and score each applicant during a 2-3 hour review
