Award Summary Report

This report form will create a report of the top 50 grant dollars allocated by award number by one or all Fiscal Years since 2005. 'Award Types' are:

  • Discretionary Awards: Discretionary grants are those for which the OPDIV may exercise judgment (“discretion”) in determining the recipient and the amount of the award. Discretionary grants may be further categorized by purpose (for example, research, training, services, construction, and conference support). Generally such awards are made following a competitive process.
  • Non-Discretionary (Mandatory): Mandatory grants are those that an OPDIV is required to award if the recipient (usually a State) submits an acceptable plan or application and meets the statutory and regulatory eligibility and compliance requirements for the program. Mandatory grants include block grants and entitlement grants.
  • All Awards: Discretionary and Non-discretionary awards.
