This decision is based on NIJ's ongoing <br />responsibility to assist and coordinate projects that deal with DNA analysis and capacity enhancement, and certain <br />other forensic activities. NIJ will provide input and re-direction to the program, as needed, in consultation with the <br />recipient, and will actively monitor the project by methods including but not limited to ongoing contact with the <br />recipient. In meeting programmatic responsibilities, NU and the recipient will be guided by the following principles: <br />Responsibility for the day-to-day operations of this project rests with the recipient in implementation of the recipient's <br />approved proposal, the recipient's budget (as approved by OJP and NIJ), and the [erms and conditions specified in this <br />awazd. Responsibility for general oversight and redirection of the project, ifnecessary, rests with NU. In addition to <br />its programmatic reporting requirements, the recipient agrees to provide necessary information as requested by OJP and <br />NIJ. These information requests may include, but are not limited to specific submissions related to: performance, <br />including measurement of project outputs/outcomes; meeting performance specifications; developmental decision <br />points; changes in project scope or personnel; budget modifications and,'or coordination of zelated projects. <br />7. l;nless otherwise authorized by NIJ, expenses chazged to this award must directly relate to: (a) identification, review, <br />and prioritization of Uniform Crime Report (UCR), Part 1 V iolent Crime "cold cases" (cases for which all significant <br />investigative leads have been exhausted) that have the potential to be solved through DNA analysis; (b) identification, <br />collection, retrieval, or evaluation of biological evidence from such cases that reasonably is expected to contain DNA; <br />or (c) performance of DNA analyses on such biological evidence. <br />OJP FORY1 40(10/?
