CLOSEOUT MEMORANDUM
Case Number: 105100066 Page"l of 1
i,
The National Science Foundation Office of Inspector General conducted a proactive review of
USP/LtSI grants. As part of the review, we examined the USP award l issued to the subject
grantee institution2 •
Our pr9active review of the grant jacket identified a number of issues of concern with th~ grantee
institution, but also determined that NSF is aggressively addressing each of them. Interview of
the Program Director3 and review of journal entries and communications between NSF and the
grante~;demonstrate that the identified issues are well along the way to resolution.
Based on the above, active investigative involvement does not seem warranted. Nevertheless, in
an effont to ensure the identified prqblems are corrected, this case has been referred to audit with
a recOIwnendation that the subject grantee institution be included in a future audit plan.
Based upon the above, this case is closed without further action.
