However, recipients are reminded that certain laboratory data reporting may still be required under other applicable laws, regulations or the terms of the recipient’s award.

In 2019, CDC provided expanded authority for carryover to some awards, allowing recipients to spend unobligated funds in a following budget period for any approved cost that falls within the scope and objectives of a project.  For more information about expanded authority, please refer to the Expanded Authority for Carryover Fact Sheet. To determine if expanded authority for carryover has been granted for an award, refer to your NoA document for the special terms and conditions .
