Grantees must comply with federal and state guidelines. The following resources can ensure current grantees stay in compliance.

Grant manual

Review the OJP Grant Manual, March 2025 to understand all requirements.

For your reference, you can also review a Guide to grant manual revisions and the OJP Grant Manual, March 2025 red-lined version. These documents highlight changes made since the previous version of the Grant Manual.

Additionally, please review the De Minimis Indirect Cost Rate Information to learn more about the new rate and your options for next steps.

SWIFT requirement 

All grantees must be registered in the Statewide Integrated Financial Tools (SWIFT) system to receive grant payments and view payment history. 

This can be done after receiving a grant award, but a grantee’s vendor profile must be approved in SWIFT before a grant agreement can be created.  

Read SWIFT directions and registration information.  

SAM.gov registration requirement 

All applicants for grants supported with federal funds must have an active Entity Registration in SAM.gov (System for Awards Management). A unique entity ID is assigned automatically to entities when they register on SAM.gov.​
