CNCS publishes both General and Specific Terms and Conditions for each program year. These Terms and Conditions are updated annually with changes from the prior version listed at the beginning of the document. These documents outline the program, financial, and administrative compliance requirements for recipients and subrecipients. They include binding requirements on your award established by CNCS which, when not met, can result in corrective actions, including disallowances.
