Partial Funding Memo

The Partial Funding Memo is used to explain the state of funding for the approved Application. A clear and precise explanation of what is happening in this Partial Funding will greatly assist GMD personnel in processing the action. Typically, Partial Funding actions are used to fund the out-years of multi-year awards, with a single application being submitted for the award's duration. However, some awards will have multiple multi-year applications associated with them. Other awards are single-year awards for which the fully approved amount was not provided in the initial award. Every situation requires an explanation.

GMD personnel want to know that the Program Officer is aware of the Recipient's reporting status for the award. GMD does NOT want to receive Partial Funding actions for awards for which the recipient is delinquent in reporting. It is GMD policy not to approve additional funding for awards that have delinquent reports.

The Assigned Program Officer for the Partial Funding may modify the memo whenever the Award File is in their task inbox.

After the initial amount is entered and saved, it may be changed in the Partial Funding document by the Assigned Program Officer as long as the Award File and the Procurement Request are both in their task inbox. It is the responsibility of the Assigned Program Officer to ensure that the Procurement Request and Partial Funding document have the same Federal amount.
