# §22.410. Grants officers' responsibilities.


The grants officer is responsible for determining a recipient's qualification prior to award. The grants officer's signature on the award document shall signify his or her determination that either:

- (a) The potential recipient meets the standards in [§ 22.415](/cfr/32/22.415.md) and is qualified to receive the grant or cooperative agreement; or
- (b) An award is justified to a recipient that does not fully meet the standards, pursuant to [§ 22.405(b)](/cfr/32/22.405.md?p=b). In such cases, grants officers shall document in the award file the rationale for making an award to a recipient that does not fully meet the standards.
