How-To Guides:
PRC073/036:
As we reach the end of the funding/fiscal year, please be reminded that PRC073/036 funds do not rollover. If you have been unable to spend your PRC073/036 DPI E-rate matching funds due to shortages, etc.; please go ahead and spend them for other approved goods/services. We suggest you encumber funds that DO rollover to cover payment of FY2021 E-rate goods/services. If you have questions, talk to your finance personnel.
Program Integrity Assurance (PIA) and other reviews:
Congratulations on surviving another filing season. Please be on the lookout for your PIA inquiries. These have deadlines! Failure to reply can affect your funding commitment. If you need assistance, please reach out.
