Why are subgrants not permitted by ILAB?
In general, it is improper for non-governmental entities that receive grant funds from the U.S. Government to subgrant any of these funds where there is not specific congressional authority to do so. ILAB does not have the specific authority in its congressional appropriation to allow subgrants under its child labor elimination cooperative agreements. Subgranting must not to be included in an applicant’s budget; however, subcontracting may be included as a budget line item.
