Explanation	THE ACLU HAS ESTABLISHED PROCEDURES FOR THE RELEASE OF GRANTS TO ITS AFFILIATES, AS WELL AS FOR MONITORING OF OUTCOMES TO DETERMINE WHETHER THE GOALS OF A PARTICULAR GRANT AWARD HAVE BEEN MET. GRANT AWARDS ARE CONFIRMED IN WRITING AND SUPPORTED BY A WRITTEN AGREEMENT THAT SPECIFIES THE PURPOSE OF THE GRANT, THE SPECIFIC OUTCOMES TO BE ACHIEVED, AND, IF APPLICABLE, THE INDICATORS THAT THE PARTIES AGREE WILL BE USED TO MEASURE PROGRESS TOWARDS AGREED UPON GOALS. WRITTEN AGREEMENTS DETAIL THE SPECIFIC ACTIVITIES FOR WHICH FUNDING IS TO BE PROVIDED AND DOCUMENT THE AFFILIATE'S COMMITMENT TO USING THE FUNDS PROVIDED TO PURSUE SPECIFIC STRATEGIES IN ADDRESSING PROGRAM GOALS AND TARGET OUTCOMES. AFFILIATES AND OTHER ORGANIZATIONS THAT RECEIVE GRANT AWARDS MAY BE REQUIRED TO PROVIDE QUANTITATIVE AND/OR QUALITATIVE REPORTS, AND THESE REPORTS MAY BE USED TO DETERMINE WHETHER ADDITIONAL FUNDING MAY BE REQUIRED AND/OR TO ENHANCE FUTURE GRANT PROGRAMS. FOR GRANTS TO INDIVIDUALS A SELECTION COMMITTEE OF THREE PERSONS AFFILIATED WITH THE ACLU AND FOUR UNAFFILIATED WITH THE ACLU SHALL CHOOSE THE WINNER OF THE NORMAN DORSEN PRESIDENTIAL PRIZE. THE SELECTION COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS ONE TO THREE NOMINEES TO THE ACLU FOUNDATION BOARD, AND THE BOARD SHALL SELECT THE WINNER FROM ONE OF THOSE RECOMMENDED. THE PRIZE IS TO BE GIVEN BIENNIALLY TO A FULL-TIME ACADEMIC IN ANY DISCIPLINE FOR OUTSTANDING CONTRIBUTIONS TO CIVIL LIBERTIES.	ExplanationTxt
