CLOSEOUT MEMORANDUM
Case Number: Al3050058 Page 1 of 1
NSF OIG received an allegation regarding misuse of funds in connection with a funded NSF
proposa1. 1 Our analysis identified potentially problematic charges to the grant, so we contacted
the Subject's 2 institution3 to request supporting documentation for the recorded expenses. Based
on the information provided, we ascertained that the questionable costs were coded improperly in
the university's accounting system. After requesting additional records to confirm the coding
error, we determined that the spending on the grant appears to be on track and no unallowable
charges were made.
Therefore, there is no evidence to substantiate an allegation of misuse of funds. Accordingly, this
case is closed with no further action taken.
