Grants Review Process (State Agencies & Institutions)
S.C. Code of Laws Section 2-65-30 and 2-65-30 require State agencies and institutions to notify the Executive Budget Office (EBO) of the any “new” unanticipated federal grant/contract awards to be received during the fiscal year prior to expending those funds.
New grant/contract awards can be defined as any unanticipated federal awards received during the fiscal year that were not included in the appropriations act and are established under a new SCEIS grant number. This would include any sub-awards received from other state agencies.
Notification of New Federal Grant/Contract Awards
1. Complete Form GR-100 Form. The Form has drop-down menus to assist in completion.
2. Scan Form GR-100 along with the award notification letter to a single pdf file.
3. Save the pdf using the SCEIS number as the file name.
4. Email the pdf file to Grants&contracts@admin.sc.gov, and include “New GR-100” in the email subject line.
5. Non-SCEIS agencies should submit a GR-100 for new grants that meet the reporting requirements along with the new grant award notification saved into a single PDF. The SCEIS Grant Number can be left blank on the GR-100 form, and the PDF submission file should be named after the External Reference number.
6. EBO will review the documents for completeness and send an acknowledge via return email.
The following Federal awards remain exempt from this process:
• Grants less than $200,000
• Research and Student Aid
