Michigan State University (MSU) Quantitative Fisheries Center (QFC) will provide the required 25% total project cost match when the Illinois DNR’s application to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Inter-Jurisdictional Fishery Act (IJFA) program is approved for funding. Illinois DNR’s application is for FFY 2025 to 2028 and it is Illinois DNR’s intent to use IJFA funding to support the operations of the QFC. The required match will be provided through QFC Employee Effort Reporting Cost Sharing, which will be applied to the MSU account into which Illinois DNR IJFA funds are deposited. Effort reports are completed by MSU employees for each semester of the academic calendar year, although there is typically a two or three month lag from when the effort reports are completed and the end of the semester.

Funding is used at Michigan State University

Financial Reports All recipients must use the SF-425, “Federal Financial Report” form for financial reporting. At a minimum, all recipients must submit a final financial report. Final reports are due no later than 120 calendar days after the award period of performance end date or termination date. For awards with periods of performance longer than 12 months, recipients are required to submit interim financial reports on the frequency established in the Notice of Award. The only exception to the interim financial reporting requirement is if the recipient is required to use the SF 270/271 to request payment and requests payment at least once annually through the entire award period of performance. We will describe all financial reporting requirements in the Notice of Award. Performance Reports Performance reports must contain a comparison of actual accomplishments with the established goals and objectives of the award; a description of reasons why established goals were not met, if appropriate; and any other pertinent information relevant to the project results. Final reports are due no later than120 calendar days after the award period of performance end date or termination date. For awards with periods of performance longer than 12 months, recipients are required to submit interim performance reports on the frequency established in the Notice of Award.

In accordance with Audit Requirements in 2 CFR Part 200 Subpart F and Department of Commerce Financial Assistance Standard Terms and Conditions Section D.01, non-Federal entities that expend $1,00,000 or more during their fiscal year in Federal awards are required to submit a single audit report to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse within the earlier of 30 calendar days after receipt of the auditor's report(s), or nine months after the end of the audit period. Your organization spent over $1,000,000 in Federal funds in Fiscal Year 2024, therefore, you were required to submit a current Single Audit to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse no later than January 30, 2025. The Federal Audit Clearinghouse database was checked as of 09/02/2025, and your organization s Fiscal Year 2024 Single Audit was not listed, which means that your organization is not in compliance with Federal and Agency requirements. Please submit your Fiscal Year 2023 Fiscal Year 2024 Single Audit to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse within 90 days from receipt of this award. There is an exception for Indian Tribes and Tribal organizations for single audit reporting - please see 200.512 B(2), and section C of the same part for Reporting Package information. Failure to meet this requirement may result in your organization's designation as Risk Recipient by the Agency. This will inhibit your immediate access to withdraw funds for your project from the Automated Standard Application for Payments (ASAP) System, and Agency Review will be the method of reimbursement until receipt of your current Single Audit.
