Authority to accept grant awards and to execute contracts carries with it the responsibility for legal review prior to the acceptance of execution. This delegation is being reissued due to organization changes and the increase in direct cost limits for qualifying contracts and grants as shown in Delegated Authority – Matrix A. This authority may not be further redelegated.
