29. How does a grant get terminated before its completion? Grants may be terminated in whole or in part a) by IMLS, if you materially fail to comply with the terms and conditions of an award; b) by IMLS with your consent, in which case the two parties must agree upon the termination conditions, including the effective date and, in the case of partial termination, the portion of the project to be terminated; or c) by you, upon sending to IMLS written notification of the reasons for such termination, the effective date, and, in the case of partial termination, the portion of the project to be terminated. However, if we determine that the reduced or modified portion of the grant will not accomplish the purposes for which the grant was made, we may terminate the grant in its entirety either unilaterally or with your consent. When we determine that you have failed to comply with the terms and conditions of the grant award, we may suspend or terminate the grant for cause. Normally, this action will be taken only after you have been notified of the deficiency and given sufficient time to correct it. This does not preclude immediate suspension or termination when such action is required to protect the interests of the government. In the event that a grant is suspended and corrective action is not taken within 90 calendar days of the effective date, we may issue a notice of termination. No costs that are incurred during the suspension period or after the effective date of termination will be allowable except those specifically authorized by the suspension or termination notice or those that, in the opinion of IMLS, could not have been reasonably avoided. Within 30 calendar days of the termination date, you must provide to IMLS a summary of progress achieved under the grant, an itemized accounting of charges incurred against grant finds and cost sharing prior to the effective date of the suspension or termination, and a separate accounting and justification for any costs that may have been incurred after this date. Should you fail to furnish this material, we may place your organization on the list of ineligible grantees. The total of IMLS payments under a terminated award cannot exceed the obligated award amount. 30. What are the procedures for requesting a review of termination? If you receive a notice of termination, you may request IMLS review of the decision. The request must be postmarked no later than 30 calendar days after the date of the termination notice and Should be addressed to: IMLS Director Institute of Museum and Library Services 1800 M Street, NW, 9s' Floor Washington, D.C. 20036 -5802 l
