Forms/Information Reporting
*Distribution of Funds
The distribution of grant payments will be based upon a cost reimbursement model. This requires invoices and documentation of costs on a monthly basis to be submitted for approval and payment. As a result, grantees are required to expend local funds upfront and invoice the NNLM NER for incurred expenses. Invoices and accompanying documentation are to be e-mailed to martha.meacham2@umassmed.edu or cheryl.lavallee@umassmed.edu.
