Explanation	THE USGA PROVIDES GRANTS TO FURTHER ITS MISSION TO CHAMPION AND ADVANCE THE GAME. MANY OF THESE PROGRAMS SUPPORT JUNIORS AND GOLFERS WITH DISABILITIES THROUGHOUT THE UNITED STATES THROUGH LOCAL CHAPTER GRANTS THROUGH A NATIONAL ASSOCIATION. THE USGA ALSO PROVIDES GRANTS TO STATE AND REGIONAL ASSOCIATIONS TO FINANCE PAID INTERNSHIPS FOR THOSE WHO ARE PURSUING A CAREER IN GOLF ADMINISTRATION. THE USGA PROVIDES GRANTS TO COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES TO FINANCE TURFGRASS RESEARCH AND ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH THAT MAY BENEFIT GOLF COURSES IN REDUCING CONSUMPTION OF KEY RESOURCES SUCH AS WATER AND MANAGING COSTS RELATED TO LABOR AND TURF MAINTENANCE. IN ALL CASES, STAFF MEMBERS MONITOR THE USE OF FUNDS TO ENSURE THAT THE GRANTS ARE SPENT FOR THE PROPER PURPOSES AND ARE NOT OTHERWISE DIVERTED FROM INTENDED USE. IN SOME CASES, A THOROUGH APPLICATION MUST BE SUBMITTED IN ORDER TO RECEIVE CONSIDERATION FOR FUNDING. MONITORING NORMALLY INCLUDES FORMAL PERIODIC REPORTS FROM THE RECIPIENT ORGANIZATION, DETAILING PROGRAM PROGRESS AND USE OF FUNDS. MONITORING CAN ALSO INCLUDE INFORMAL REPORTS, DEPENDING ON THE NATURE OF THE GRANT AND THE ORGANIZATION IT WAS DISTRIBUTED TO. FOR EXAMPLE, GRANTS DISTRIBUTED TO PROGRAMS FOR JUNIORS AND GOLFERS WITH DISABILITIES TYPICALLY REQUIRE THE RECIPIENT ORGANIZATION TO COMPLETE A FORMAL ASSESSMENT REPORT THAT INCLUDES INFORMATION ABOUT PROGRAM OUTCOMES, FINANCIAL COMPLIANCE, PARTICIPANT STATISTICS, PROGRAM SCHEDULE, INSTRUCTION PROVIDED, AND FOLLOW-UP SUPPORT. SUCH INFORMATION IS SUBJECT TO AUDIT, AT THE USGA'S SOLE DISCRETION. IN ALL CASES, UNSPENT FUNDS MUST BE RETURNED TO USGA. GRANTS TO STATE AND REGIONAL ASSOCIATIONS FOR GOLF ADMINISTRATION INTERNSHIPS TYPICALLY REQUIRE THE RECIPIENT ORGANIZATION TO COMPLETE A REPORT DESCRIBING THE INTERNSHIP ACTIVITIES AND ACCOMPLISHMENTS, AND ACCOUNT FOR ALL INTERNSHIP SALARY PAYMENTS. ADDITIONALLY, THE INTERN IS REQUIRED TO COMPLETE AN EVALUATION ON THE INTERNSHIP RESPONSIBILITIES AND CONFIRM THE DURATION OF THEIR EMPLOYMENT.

GRANTS TO COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES FOR TURF GRASS AND ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH TYPICALLY REQUIRE THE RECIPIENT ORGANIZATION TO COMPLETE A REPORT DESCRIBING IN DETAIL THE RESULTS OF THE RESEARCH, AND ACCOUNT FOR ALL FUNDS SPENT.
