Any amendments by the recipient to the acknowledgement statement must be coordinated with
the HHS Awarding Agency.
If the recipient plans to issue a press release concerning the outcome of activities supported by

coordination.
Copyright Interests Provision: This provision is intended to ensure that the public has access to
the results and accomplishments of public health activities funded by CDC. Pursuant to applicable
grant regulations and CDC's Public Access Policy, Recipient agrees to submit into the National
Institutes of Health (NIH) Manuscript Submission (NIHMS) system an electronic version of the final,
peer-reviewed manuscript of any such work developed under this award upon acceptance for
publication, to be made publicly available no later than 12 months after the official date of
publication. Also, at the time of submission, Recipient and/or the Recipient's submitting author
must specify the date the final manuscript will be publicly accessible through PubMed Central
(PMC). Recipient and/or Recipient's submitting author must also post the manuscript through PMC
within twelve (12) months of the publisher's official date of final publication; however, the author is
strongly encouraged to make the subject manuscript available as soon as possible. The recipient
must obtain prior approval from the CDC for any exception to this provision.
The author's final, peer-reviewed manuscript is defined as the final version accepted for journal
publication and includes all modifications from the publishing peer review process, and all graphics
and supplemental material associated with the article. Recipient and its submitting authors working
under this award are responsible for ensuring that any publishing or copyright agreements

license reserved by CDC. The manuscript will be hosted in both PMC and the CDC Stacks
institutional repository system. In progress reports for this award, recipient must identify publications
subject to the CDC Public Access Policy by using the applicable NIHMS identification number for up
to three (3) months after the publication date and the PubMed Central identification number
(PMCID) thereafter.

the following statement on conference materials, including promotional materials, agenda, and
internet sites:
PROCUREMENT AGREEMENT NUMBER: P-22-390 Attachment"A"
Pathways Community HUB Institute Inc. Page 13 of 19
08/31/2022
Funding for this conference was made possible (in part) by the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention. The views expressed in written conference materials or
publications and by speakers and moderators do not necessarily reflect the official
policies of the Department of Health and Human Services, nor does the mention of trade
names, commercial practices, or organizations imply endorsement by the U.S.
Government.
Logo Use for Conference and Other Materials: Neither the Department of Health and Human
Services (HHS) nor the CDC logo may be displayed if such display would cause confusion as to the
funding source or give false appearance of Government endorsement. Use of the HHS name or
logo is governed by U.S.C. Part 1320b-10, which prohibits misuse of the HHS name and emblem in
written communication. A non-federal entity is not authorized to use the HHS name or logo
governed by U.S.C. Part 1320b-10. The appropriate use of the HHS logo is subject to review and
approval of the HHS Office of the Assistant Secretary for Public Affairs (OASPA). Moreover, the
HHS Office of the Inspector General has authority to impose civil monetary penalties for violations
(42 CFR Part 1003).
Additionally, the CDC logo cannot be used by the recipient without the express, written consent of
CDC. The Program Official/Project Officer identified in the NOA can assist with facilitating such a
request. It is the responsibility of the recipient to request consent for use of the logo in sufficient
detail to ensure a complete depiction and disclosure of all uses of the Government logos. In all
cases for utilization of Government logos, the recipient must ensure written consent is received.
Further, the HHS and CDC logo cannot be used by the recipient without a license agreement
setting forth the terms and conditions of use.
Equipment and Products: To the greatest extent practical, all equipment and products purchased
with CDC funds should be American-made. CDC defines equipment as tangible non- expendable
personal property (including exempt property) charged directly to an award having a useful life of
more than one year AND an acquisition cost of$5,000 or more per unit. However, consistent with
recipient policy, a lower threshold may be established. Please provide the information to the
Grants Management Officer to establish a lower equipment threshold to reflect your organization's
policy.
The recipient may use its own property management standards and procedures, provided it
observes provisions in applicable grant regulations found at 45 CFR Part 75.
Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA): All information systems, electronic or
hard copy, that contain federal data must be protected from unauthorized access. This standard
also applies to information associated with CDC grants. Congress and the OMB have instituted
laws, policies and directives that govern the creation and implementation of federal information
security practices that pertain specifically to grants and contracts. The current regulations are
pursuant to the Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA), Title III of the E-
Government Act of 2002, PL 107-347.
FISMA applies to CDC recipients only when recipients collect, store, process, transmit or use
information on behalf of HHS or any of its component organizations. In all other cases, FISMA is
not applicable to recipients of grants, including cooperative agreements. Under FISMA, the
PROCUREMENT AGREEMENT NUMBER: P-22-390 Attachment"A"
Pathways Community HUB Institute Inc. Page 14 of 19
08/31/2022
recipient retains the original data and intellectual property, and is responsible for the security of
these data, subject to all applicable laws protecting security, privacy, and research. If/When
information collected by a recipient is provided to HHS, responsibility for the protection of the HHS
copy of the information is transferred to HHS and it becomes the agency's responsibility to protect
that information and any derivative copies as required by FISMA. For the full text of the
requirements under Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA), Title III of the E-
Government Act of 2002 Pub. L. No. 107-347, please review the following website:

CLOSEOUT REQUIREMENTS
Recipients must submit all closeout reports identified in this section within 90 days of the period of
performance end date. The reporting timeframe is the full period of performance. If the recipient does
not submit all reports in accordance with this section and the terms and conditions of the Federal
Award, CDC may proceed to close out with the information available within one year of the period of
performance end date unless otherwise directed by authorizing statutes. Failure to submit timely and
accurate final reports may affect future funding to the organization or awards under the direction of
the same Project Director/Principal Investigator (PD/PI).
Final Performance Progress and Evaluation Report(PPER):This report should include the information
specified in the NOFO and is submitted upon solicitation from the GMS/GMO via www.grantsolutions.gov.
At a minimum,the report will include the following:
