of previously reimbursed funds, and Grantee shall not otherwise be entitled to reimbursement for such
expenditures.
VII. Expenditure of Grant Funds.
A. Allowable Expenditures. Grantee shall only be entitled to payment for Allowable Expenditures,
actually incurred, as enumerated in the NOFA and subject to any other restrictions imposed by this
Agreement. CPA may order the return of any funds previously disbursed or deny a request for
reimbursement for any expenditures that do not constitute Allowable Expenditures, and Grantee shall
not otherwise be entitled to payment or reimbursement for any expenditures that do not constitute
Allowable Expenditures.
B. Non -Reimbursable Expenses. Grantee may not expend the Grant for purposes contrary to this
Agreement. With the exception of Allowable Expenditures or other reimbursable expenses or costs
expressly contemplated herein, there shall be no other reimbursable expenses associated with this
Agreement. Except for expenditures that constitute Allowable Expenditures or other reimbursable
expenses or costs expressly contemplated hereunder, Grantee shall be solely responsible for all costs,
charges and expenses it incurs in connection with its performance under this Agreement, including, but
not limited to, travel, mileage, meals, lodging, equipment, supplies, personnel, salaries, benefits,
insurance, training, conferences, telephone, utilities, start-up costs, and all other costs and expenses of
Grantee.
C. Pre -Award Expenses. Grantee may only use funds to cover costs incurred after the Effective Date,

Effective Date and before approval by CPA of the release of Grant funds are incurred voluntarily, at
Grantee's own credit and expense.

Project Budget without the prior written consent of CPA and may only transfer amounts between
budget categories pursuant to the Budget Control terms and conditions set out in Attachment C-1.

in unexpended Grant funds, Grantee shall return such Grant funds to CPA. CPA shall have the rights
and remedies with respect to unexpended funds upon termination as provided by Part XII.

VIII. Payment
A. Disbursement of Grant Funding. After the Effective Date, CPA will disburse Grant funds to Grantee
on a reimbursement basis.
B. Reimbursement.
1. Request for Reimbursement. Grantee may request reimbursement for Allowable Expenditures
monthly. A request for reimbursement shall identify in detail all Allowable Expenditures for which
reimbursement is being sought on the forms and in the manner prescribed by CPA and attest that
such Allowable Expenditures are true, accurate, and in fact constitute Allowable Expenditures,
actually incurred by Grantee. CPA may request, in its sole discretion, and Grantee may be required
to supply, additional records to verify any Allowable Expenditures claimed by Grantee, including,
but not limited to, invoices, original itemized receipts, copies of checks, check registers, or bank
statements indicating credit card invoices were paid. CPA shall review any request for
reimbursement and related supporting documentation for compliance with this Agreement, the
NOFA, and Applicable Laws. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, CPA shall have
the right to dispute any request for reimbursement, invoice, or other supporting documentation and
withhold payment of any disputed amount if CPA believes the documentation is inaccurate,
incomplete, insufficient, or incorrect in any way.
2. Time for Reimbursement. Requests for reimbursement should be made allowing up to thirty (30)
calendar days to receive the Grant funds. No payment of grant funds will be disbursed until CPA
has reviewed and approved the eligible expenses incurred by Grantee. If CPA requires additional
supporting documentation for a request for reimbursement, a hold will be placed on such request
for reimbursement until claimed Allowable Expenditures are verified.
3. Pavments Conditional. Reimbursements are conditioned on work being performed in compliance
with this Agreement, the NOFA, and Applicable Laws. No payment, including final payment, shall
be construed as or constitute: (1) acceptance of any Project(s) as satisfying the terms, conditions,
or requirements of this Agreement, the NOFA, or Applicable Laws; or (2) a waiver by CPA of any
rights or remedies it may have to enforce the terms of this Agreement, and Grantee shall remain
responsible for full performance in strict compliance with the terms and conditions of this
Agreement. By making any payments under this Agreement, CPA does not waive its ability to
challenge any payment or reimbursement for either failing to comply with this Agreement, the
NOFA, or any Applicable Laws. Grantee agrees that its acceptance of the last payment from CPA
under this Agreement shall operate as a release of any and all claims related to this Agreement that
Grantee may have or be capable of asserting against CPA or the State of Texas.
4. Level -of -Effort Records. Grantee must maintain records supporting reimbursement requests for
exempt employee salaries where costs are determined based on percentage of the employee's time
performing activities. These records must meet the Standards for Documentation of Personnel
Expenses in Texas Grant Management Standards (Appendix 7, Selected Items of Cost,
Compensation -Personal Services, Standards for Documentation of Personnel Expenses). For
reimbursement requests for the salaries and wages of nonexempt employees, Grantee must
maintain, in addition to the supporting documentation required for exempt employees, records that
indicate the total number of hours worked each day. Grantee shall provide these records upon
CPA's request.
C. Right to Withhold Reimbursement. CPA reserves the right to not disburse any Grant funds if, in
CPA's determination:
1. Grantee has failed to supply appropriate supporting documentation or withheld a material fact in a
request for reimbursement;
2. Grantee's request for reimbursement, when combined with all prior reimbursement requests,
exceeds the total amount of the Grant;
3. Grantee has used any portion of the Grant for uses or activities other than the Project, or in a
manner inconsistent with the terms and conditions of this Agreement; Texas Government Code,
Chapter 403, Subchapter R; Title 34, Chapter 16, Subchapter C of the Texas Administrative Code;
Applicable Laws; or the NOFA;

Docusign Envelope ID: D317CC9D-90B2-4EB8-A3BC-EDD80475D940
4. Grantee is not performing or completing the Project in a manner satisfactory to CPA; or
5. Grantee is in default under any other term or condition contained in this Agreement.
D. Return of Funds. In the event that any previously reimbursed funds are determined to have been
expended in violation of the laws applicable to the expenditure of such funds; or any payment was
comprised of claimed expenditures that did not constitute Allowable Expenditures; was not otherwise
reimbursable hereunder; was improperly or incorrectly allocated; was unreasonable; was not supported
by sufficient and appropriate documentation; or was otherwise made in a manner inconsistent with or
in violation of the terms, conditions, or requirements of this Agreement, the NOFA, or any Applicable
Laws, Grantee shall be liable to CPA for the full amount of any claim disallowed and for all related
penalties incurred and Grantee shall immediately return to CPA funds subject to this Repayment
Obligation. This remedy is in addition to and not to the exclusion of any other remedies available to
CPA under this Agreement, at law, in equity, or otherwise.
E. Erroneous Payments and Credits. Grantee shall promptly pay or refund to CPA the full amount of
any overpayment, erroneous payment, or unallowable expense within ten (10) business days after
either discovery by the Grantee or notification by CPA of the overpayment, erroneous payment, or
unallowable expense. CPA may, in its sole discretion, elect to have Grantee apply any amounts due to
CPA under this Section (Erroneous Payments and Credits) against any amounts payable by CPA under
this Agreement.
F. Compensation Generally. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in no event
shall CPA be obligated to pay Grantee any fees, costs, compensation or other amounts in excess of the
amount expressly set forth herein in accordance with the terms, conditions, limitations, and
requirements of this Agreement, unless CPA otherwise agrees to pay such fees, costs, compensation
or other amounts pursuant to a written amendment to this Agreement executed by CPA.
IX. Records
A. Records Retention. Grantee shall maintain accurate financial, management, programmatic and other
records, including those pertaining to subawards and subcontracts, of the Grantee, of all transactions
relating to the receipt and expenditure of the Grant and administration of the Project (collectively,
"Records") in compliance with this Agreement. The Records shall be in a commercially reasonable
form acceptable to CPA. Grantee shall retain the Records for the later of (a) Five (5) years following
the date CPA approves the Final Report described in Part VI., Section E.2. (Final Report); or (b) if any
litigation, claim, or audit is started, or any open records request is received, before the expiration of
the five-year records retention period, one year after the completion of the litigation, claim, or open
records request and resolution of all issues which arise from it.
B. Access to and Examination of Records. Grantee shall give the Auditor of the State of Texas, CPA,
or any of their duly authorized representatives, access to and the right to examine all books, accounts,
records, reports, files, other papers, things or property belonging to or in use by Grantee pertaining to
this Agreement. Such rights to access shall continue as long as the records are retained by Grantee.
Grantee shall cooperate with auditors and other authorized representatives of CPA and the State of
Texas and shall provide them with prompt access to all such property as requested by CPA or the State
of Texas. By example and not as exclusion to other breaches or failures, the Grantee's failure to
comply with this Section shall constitute a material breach of this Agreement and shall authorize CPA
to immediately terminate this Agreement. Grantee agrees to maintain such records in an accessible
location and to provide citizens reasonable access to such records consistent with the Texas Public
Information Act, Chapter 552 of the Texas Government Code.

X. Right to Audit
CPA may require, at Grantee's sole cost and expense, independent audits by a qualified certified public
accounting firm of Grantee's books and records or the State's property. The independent auditor shall
provide CPA with a copy of such audit at the same time it is provided to Grantee. CPA retains the right to
issue a request for applications for the services of an independent certified public accounting firm under
this Agreement. In addition to and without limitation on the other audit provisions of this Agreement,
pursuant to Section 2262.154 of the Texas Government Code, the state auditor may conduct an audit or
investigation of Grantee or any other entity or person receiving funds from the state directly under this
Agreement or indirectly through a subcontract under this Agreement. The acceptance of funds by Grantee
or any other entity or person directly under this Agreement or indirectly through a subcontract under this
Agreement acts as acceptance of the authority of the state auditor, under the direction of the legislative audit
committee, to conduct an audit or investigation in cormection with those funds. Under- the direction of the
legislative audit committee, Grantee or other entity that is the subject of an audit or investigation by the
state auditor must provide the state auditor with access to any information the state auditor considers
relevant to the investigation or audit. This Agreement may be amended unilaterally by CPA to comply
with any rules and procedures of the state auditor in the implementation and enforcement of Section
2262.154 of the Texas Government Code. Grantee shall ensure that this paragraph concerning the authority
to audit funds received indirectly by subcontractors or subgrantees through the Grantee and the requirement
to cooperate is included in any awarded subcontract or subaward. The state auditor shall at any time have
access to and the rights to examine, audit, excerpt, and transcribe any pertinent books, documents, working
papers, and records of the Grantee relating to this Agreement.
XI. Monitoring
A. Monitoring and Review. In addition to any other terms and conditions hereunder of or related to
auditing, verifying, or ensuring Grantee's compliance with the terms, conditions, requirements, or
limitations of this Agreement, CPA shall monitor and review Grantee's performance under this
Agreement to ensure compliance with this Agreement, the NOFA, and Applicable Laws. Such review
and monitoring shall include CPA's assessment of any claims or invoices and any reports furnished by
Grantee pursuant to this Agreement. CPA reserves the right to monitor Grantee performance through
site visits, reports, or other means deemed necessary by CPA. The Grantee agrees that CPA may
conduct during regular business hours site visits to review contract compliance, assess management
controls, and assess relevant services and activities. Grantee agrees to ensure the cooperation of Grantee
personnel in such efforts and to provide to CPA all information requested in the manner determined by
CPA, including allowing CPA to inspect Grantee's, subgrantee's, or subcontractor's facilities and
books and records in order to monitor and evaluate performance of this Agreement.

written report to the Grantee that identifies CPA's findings. A corrective action plan with a timetable

plan shall be submitted to CPA for approval within the timelines outlined in the written report. The

partnership, corporation or other business organization, all such entities shall be jointly and severally
liable for carrying out the activities and obligations of this Agreement, and for any default with respect

creating or constituting the relationship of a partnership, joint venture, or other association of any kind

conflict of interest is grounds for termination of this Agreement.
K. Force Majeure. Except as otherwise provided, neither Grantee nor CPA shall be liable to the other
for any delay in, or failure of performance, of any requirement contained in this Agreement caused by
force majeure. The existence of such causes of delay or failure shall extend the period of performance

all reasonable due diligence to perform. Force majeure is defined as acts of God, war, terrorist attacks,
fires, explosions, earthquakes, hurricanes, floods, failure of transportation, pandemic, or other causes
that are beyond the reasonable control of either party and that by exercise of due foresight such party
could not reasonably have been expected to avoid, and which, by the exercise of all reasonable due
diligence, such party is unable to overcome. Each party must inform the other in writing with proof of
receipt within three (3) business days of the existence of such force majeure or otherwise waive this
right as a defense.

understands that CPA will comply with the Texas Public Information Act (Chapter 552 of the Texas
Government Code), as interpreted by judicial opinions and opinions of CPA and of the Texas Attorney

or exchanged with the State of Texas pursuant to the Agreement, and not otherwise excepted from
disclosure under the Texas Public Information Act, available in a format that is accessible by the public
at no additional charge to the State. Specific formats acceptable to CPA include Word, Excel, and pdf.
All Applications become the property of CPA and may be subject to release to any requester under the
provisions of the Texas Public Information Act. After the award and execution of this Agreement,
Applications submitted shall be presumed to be public information and subject to disclosure unless
such information is conspicuously marked as confidential and a specific exception to disclosure under

defined under Section 271.151 of the Texas Local Government Code, Grantee acknowledges and agrees

performance under this Agreement will not constitute an actual or potential conflict of interest or

subject to the terms of this Agreement.

no reimbursable rate is shown above, indirect costs are not reimbursable under this Agreement. To the
extent that the reimbursable rate is lower than Grantee's actual indirect costs, Grantee is contributing
its unreimbursed indirect costs to the successful performance of this Agreement, and waives any right
it may have to reimbursement of those costs. Grantee must fund all unreimbursed indirect costs from
other funds. It is the Grantee's responsibility to ensure that unreimbursed indirect costs are not charged
to other projects which do not benefit from them, and that it uses funding sources that may be properly
used to fund its unreimbursed costs.

relationship contemplated in the solicitation or performance of a contract with CPA resulting from the solicitation.
2. Grantee shall not, at any time, use the Confidential Information in any fashion, form, or manner except in its capacity
as proposed consultant or independent contractor to CPA.
3. Unless otherwise provided in the solicitation or resulting contract, Grantee agrees to maintain the confidentiality of
all Confidential Information in the same manner that it protects the confidentiality of its own materials of like kind,
but in no event less than reasonable care. Grantee shall take reasonable precautions to protect the Confidential
Information including, but not limited to, not disclosing Confidential Information in any manner to any person, firm,
or entity, except for authorized employees, agents, or contractors of Grantee with a need to know who are bound by
confidentiality obligations at least as stringent as those contained in this agreement prior to any disclosure of such
Confidential Information.
4. The Confidential Information may not be copied, reproduced, disclosed, distributed, or otherwise divulged without
CPA's prior written approval. Confidential Information and any copies thereof shall be CPA's exclusive property.
5. All Confidential Information made available to Grantee, including copies thereof, must be returned to CPA upon
the first to occur of (a) expiration or termination of any contract resulting from the solicitation, or (b) request by
CPA.
6. The foregoing does not prohibit or limit Grantee's use of the information (including, but not limited to, ideas,
concepts, know-how, techniques and methodologies) (a) previously known to it, provided such prior knowledge
was not subject to a confidentiality obligation, (b) independently developed by it, (c) acquired by it from a third -
party under no obligation of confidentiality to CPA, (d) which is or becomes part of the public domain through no
breach by Grantee of this nondisclosure agreement or other contractual obligations to CPA, or (e) approved by CPA
in writing for unrestricted disclosure.
7. If Grantee is required by applicable law, regulation, or legal process to disclose any Confidential Information, then
Grantee shall provide CPA with prompt notice of any such requirement prior to delivery of the Confidential
Information to allow CPA a reasonable opportunity to seek a protective order or equivalent.
8. This nondisclosure agreement shall become effective as of the date Confidential Information is first made available
to Grantee and shall survive the expiration or termination of any contract resulting from the solicitation and be a
continuing requirement.
9. The breach of this nondisclosure agreement by Grantee shall entitle CPA to immediately terminate any contract
with Grantee resulting from the solicitation upon written notice to Grantee for such breach. The parties acknowledge
that the measure of damages in the event of a breach of this nondisclosure agreement may be difficult or impossible
to calculate, depending on the nature of the breach. Regardless of whether CPA elects to terminate any contract with
Grantee resulting from the solicitation upon the breach hereof, CPA may require Grantee to pay to CPA the sum of
$5,000 for each breach as liquidated damages. This amount is not intended to be in the nature of a penalty, but is
intended to be a reasonable estimate of the amount of damages to CPA in the event of a breach hereof by Grantee
of this nondisclosure agreement. CPA does not waive any right to seek additional relief, either equitable or
otherwise, concerning any breach of this nondisclosure agreement.
10. This nondisclosure agreement is governed by and construed under the laws of the State of Texas. Any and all
obligations of this agreement are due in Travis County, Texas and venue is proper in only such county.

D. Disclosures under these provisions are information that will be evaluated by CPA; however, all information
provided will not necessarily lead to a restriction or disqualification. Issues will be considered on a case -by -case
basis in the best interests of the State of Texas. If Grantee is in doubt about whether information should be

SCOPE OF WORK
Project Title
Workforce Enhancement in Healthy Aging and Independent living Collaborative
Project PI Brandon Pate, MPH (subaward), Dr. Jennifer Severance (prime PI)
Project Period July 1, 2024 to June 30, 2029
Sponsor: HRSA (prime), UNTHSC (direct)
Funding Opportunity (if applicable): HRSA-24-018
Problem Statement: In 2023, nearly 30,000 residents aged 65 or older living in low-income and HPSA zip
codes called 911 for an emergency medical services (EMS) response. Many of these patients could be
effectively managed without ambulance transport to the emergency department (ED). Avoiding preventable
ED visits is more patient -centered care and reduces healthcare expenses. Emergency Medical Technicians
(EMTs) and paramedics in most EMS systems are not trained in critical clinical decision -making skills to
appropriately determine the safety and efficacy of navigating these patients to potentially more appropriate
dispositions than an ED.
Goals of the Agreement: Under this agreement, the Fort Worth Fire Department (FWFD) will train its
workforce on the skills necessary to effectively be able to provide safe alternate dispositions for 911 callers to
prevent avoidable ED visits.
3. Objectives of the Agreement/Deliverables: FWFD will train at least 105 EMTs and community paramedics
annually in age- and dementia -friendly training to enhance their ability to make effective decisions for older
patients. Trainee and health system outcomes will be measured and reported.
4. Administration:
• The training program will be developed and administered by the Fort Worth Fire Department and
the City of Fort Worth's Office of the Medical Director (OMD), in coordination with the University
of North Texas Health Science Center Workforce Enhancement in Healthy Aging and Independent
Living (WE HAIL) partners.
• Competency for the training participants will be assured through written and practical
assessments.
• Protocols will be developed for trained and credentialed WEHAIL providers to initiate patient
navigation for geriatric 911 callers who meet alternate disposition protocols.
• Outcomes from the alternate disposition will be assessed through quality improvement PDSA
cycles.

interest of the Federal government.
This award action is based on HRSA's approval of the recipient's application and any modifications at the time of this award. Continued
support for this award may be subject to other programmatic considerations to the extent permitted by law, including, but not limited to,
Administration priorities and court orders.

SECTION III — STANDARD TERMS AND CONDITIONS — 5UG4LM012345-10
This award is based on the application submitted to, and as approved by, NIH on the above -titled project and
is subject to the terms and conditions incorporated either directly or by reference in the following:
a. The grant program legislation and program regulation cited in this Notice of Award.
b. Conditions on activities and expenditure of funds in other statutory requirements, such as
those included in appropriations acts.
c. 45 CFR Part 75.
d. National Policy Requirements and all other requirements described in the NIH Grants Policy
Statement, including addenda in effect as of the beginning date of the budget period.
e. Federal Award Performance Goals: As required by the periodic report in the RPPR or in the final
progress report when applicable.
f. This award notice, INCLUDING THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS CITED BELOW.
(See NIH Home Page at http://grants.nih.gov/grants/policy/awardconditions.htm for certain
references cited above.)
Research and Development (R&D): All awards issued by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) meet the
definition of "Research and Development' at 45 CFR Part§ 75.2. As such, auditees should identify NIH
awards as part of the R&D cluster on the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards (SEFA). The auditor
should test NIH awards for compliance as instructed in Part V, Clusters of Programs. NIH recognizes that
some awards may have another classification for purposes of indirect costs. The auditor is not required to
report the disconnect (i.e., the award is classified as R&D for Federal Audit Requirement purposes but non -
Page 3 of 10
research for indirect cost rate purposes), unless the auditee is charging indirect costs at a rate other than
the rate(s) specified in the award document(s).
Carry over of an unobligated balance into the next budget period requires Grants Management Officer prior
approval.
This award is subject to the requirements of 2 CFR Part 25 for institutions to obtain a unique entity identifier
(UEI) and maintain an active registration in the System for Award Management (SAM). Should a
consortium/subaward be issued under this award, a UEI requirement must be included. See
httD://arants.nih.aov/arants/Dolicv/awardconditions.htm for the full NIH award term implementing this
requirement and other additional information.
This award has been assigned the Federal Award Identification Number (FAIN) UG4LM012345. Recipients
must document the assigned FAIN on each consortium/subaward issued under this award.
Based on the project period start date of this project, this award is likely subject to the Transparency Act
subaward and executive compensation reporting requirement of 2 CFR Part 170. There are conditions that
may exclude this award; see htto://arants.nih.00v/arants/oolicv/awardconditions.htm for additional award
applicability information.
In accordance with P.L. 110-161, compliance with the NIH Public Access Policy is now mandatory. For more
information, see NOT-OD-08-033 and the Public Access website: httD://Dublicaccess.nih.00v/.
This award represents the final year of the competitive segment for this grant. See the NIH Grants Policy
Statement Section 8.6 Closeout for complete closeout requirements at:
httD://arants.nih.00v/arants/Dolicv/DOlicv.htm#aos.
A final expenditure Federal Financial Report (FFR) (SF 425) must be submitted through the Payment
Management System (PMS) within 120 days of the period of performance end date; see the NIH Grants
Policy Statement Section 8.6.1 Financial Reports, httD://arants.nih.aov/arants/Dolicv/DOlicv.htm#aos, for
additional information on this submission requirement. The final FFR must indicate the exact balance of
unobligated funds and may not reflect any unliquidated obligations. There must be no discrepancies
between the final FFR expenditure data and the real-time cash drawdown data in PMS. NIH will close the
awards using the last recorded cash drawdown level in PMS for awards that do not require a final FFR on
expenditures. It is important to note that for financial closeout, if a grantee fails to submit a required final
expenditure FFR, NIH will close the grant using the last recorded cash drawdown level.
A Final Invention Statement and Certification form (HHS 568), (not applicable to training, construction,
conference or cancer education grants) must be submitted within 120 days of the expiration date. The HHS
568 form may be downloaded at: httD://arants.nih.00v/arants/forms.htm. This paragraph does not apply to
Training grants, Fellowships, and certain other programs -Le., activity codes C06, D42, D43, D71, DP7, G07,
G08, G11, K12, K16, K30, P09, P40, P41, P51, R13, R25, R28, R30, R90, RL5, RL9, S10, S14, S15, U13, U14, U41,
U42, U45, UC6, UC7, UR2, X01, X02.
Unless an application for competitive renewal is submitted, a Final Research Performance Progress Report
(Final RPPR) must also be submitted within 120 days of the period of performance end date. If a competitive
renewal application is submitted prior to that date, then an Interim RPPR must be submitted by that date as
well. Instructions for preparing an Interim or Final RPPR are at:
httos://arants.nih.aov/arants/rDDr/roar instruction ouide.Ddf. Any other specific requirements set forth in
the terms and conditions of the award must also be addressed in the Interim or Final RPPR. Note that data
reported within Section I of the Interim and Final RPPR forms will be made public and should be written for a
layperson audience.
NIH requires electronic submission of the final invention statement through the Closeout feature in the
Commons.
NOTE: If this is the final year of a competitive segment due to the transfer of the grant to another institution,
then a Final RPPR is not required. However, a final expenditure FFR is required and must be submitted
electronically as noted above. If not already submitted, the Final Invention Statement is required and should
be sent directly to the assigned Grants Management Specialist.

Treatment of Program Income:
Additional Costs
Recipient is compliant with Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, as amended, 20 U.S.C. §§ 1681
et seq., including the requirements set forth in Presidential Executive Order 14168 titled Defending Women
From Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government, and Title VI of
the Civil Rights Act of 1964, 42 U.S.C. §§ 2000d et seq., and Recipient will remain compliant for the duration
of the Agreement.
The above requirements are conditions of payment that go the essence of the Agreement and are
therefore material terms of the Agreement.
Payments under the Agreement are predicated on compliance with the above requirements, and
therefore Recipient is not eligible for funding under the Agreement or to retain any funding under
the Agreement absent compliance with the above requirements.
Recipient acknowledges that this certification reflects a change in the government's position
regarding the materiality of the foregoing requirements and therefore any prior payment of similar
claims does not reflect the materiality of the foregoing requirements to this Agreement.
Recipient acknowledges that a knowing false statement relating to Recipient's compliance with the
above requirements and/or eligibility for the Agreement may subject Recipient to liability under the
False Claims Act, 31 U.S.C. § 3729, and/or criminal liability, including under 18 U.S.C. §§ 287 and
1001.
SECTION IV — LM SPECIFIC AWARD CONDITIONS — 5UG4LM012345-10
Clinical Trial Indicator: No
Page 5 of 10
This award does not support any NIH-defined Clinical Trials. See the NIH Grants Policy Statement Section 1.2
for NIH definition of Clinical Trial.
NIH and the recipient have renegotiated the scope of this award. Pursuant to the revised scope, NIH funds
may only be used to support activities within the revised scope of the award. NIH funds may not be used to
support activities that are outside the revised scope of the award, including diversity, equity, and inclusion
(DEI) research or related research training activities or programs. Any funds used to support activities
outside the scope will result in a disallowance of costs, and funds will be recovered.
This term is consistent with NIH's ongoing internal review of NIH's priorities and the alignment of awards
with those priorities as well as a review of program integrity of awards. Such review includes, but is not
limited to, a review for fraud, waste and abuse, and a review of the NIH portfolio to determine whether
awards are in the best interests of the government and consistent with policy priorities. If recipients are
unclear on whether a specific activity constitutes diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) or has questions
regarding other activities that could be considered outside the scope of the award, refrain from drawing
down funds and consult with the funding IC, particularly where the activity may impact the specific aims,
goals, and objectives of the project.

COOPERATIVE AGREEMENT TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF AWARD
The following special terms of award are in addition to, and not in lieu of, otherwise applicable U.S. Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) administrative guidelines, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services
(DHHS) grant administration regulations at 45 CFR Part 75, and other HHS, PHS, and NIH grant administration
policies.
The administrative and funding instrument used for this program will be the cooperative agreement, an
Page 7 of 10
"assistance" mechanism (rather than an "acquisition" mechanism), in which substantial NIH programmatic
involvement with the awardees is anticipated during the performance of the activities. Under the cooperative
agreement, the NIH purpose is to support and stimulate the recipients' activities by involvement in and otherwise
working jointly with the award recipients in a partnership role; it is not to assume direction, prime responsibility, or a
dominant role in the activities. Consistent with this concept, the dominant role and prime responsibility resides with
the awardees for the project as a whole, although specific tasks and activities may be shared among the awardees
and the NIH as defined below.
The PD(s)/PI(s) Primary Responsibilities
The PD/PI will agree to accept the close coordination, cooperation, and participation of the NLM staff (Project
Scientists (PS), Project Coordinator (PC), Program Official (PO) and other appropriate NLM staff) in those aspects
of program and technical management of the project as described below. Specifically, the PD/PI supported by the

Page 8 of 10
activities, e.g., annual meetings of awardees, Chair and/or member of project oversight committees
composed of NIH officials.
Program Official (PO) Responsibilities
The PO is the NIH official responsible for the programmatic, scientific, and/or technical aspects of the award that
provides normal program stewardship of the award. The PO will have access to data generated under this
Cooperative Agreement and may periodically review the data and progress reports. The PO may use information
obtained from the data for the preparation of internal and external reports on the activities of the project. The PO
will work in partnership with the PC and PSs in regard to providing technical assistance to the NNLM. Normal PO
stewardship includes:
Enforcement of general statutory, regulatory, or policy requirements;
Approval of awardee plans prior to award and review of performance after completion;
Programmatic review of prior approval requests;
Evaluation of progress by reviews of technical or fiscal reports, site visits, or external consultants, to
determine that performance is consistent with the terms and conditions of the award;

Organizing and conducting regular meetings to share progress and foster collaborations within NNLM, by
teleconference, virtual meeting, or face-to-face, as needed.
Developing and implementing strategies for evaluating and reporting the effectiveness of the NNLM.
Steering Committee (SC)
The Steering Committee (SC) will provide overall integration among NNLM RMLs, Offices and Centers, and
network partners. It will also serve as an interface between the individual projects funded under this FOA and
appropriate NLM programs. The SC will consist of the PD/PI for each NNLM RML, heads of the Offices and
Centers, and the PC. The PSs and the PO will be nonvoting members. When appropriate, the SC may include
representatives from outside working groups and NLM staff who will be nonvoting members. The SC Chair will be
elected from among the NNLM voting members but may not be an NLM or NIH staff member. Additional
information about the NNSC and current procedures is available in the NNLM Workbook.
Dispute Resolution
Any disagreements that may arise in scientific or programmatic matters (within the scope of the award) between
award recipients and the NIH may be brought to Dispute Resolution. A Dispute Resolution Panel composed of
three members will be convened. It will have three members: a designee of the Steering Committee chosen
without NIH staff voting, one NIH designee, and a third designee with expertise in the relevant area who is chosen
by the other two; in the case of individual disagreement, the first member may be chosen by the individual
awardee. This special dispute resolution procedure does not alter the awardee's right to appeal an adverse action
that is otherwise appealable in accordance with PHS regulation 42 CPR Part 50, Subpart D and DHHS regulation
45 CFR Part 16.

DISCUSSION:
The Fort Worth Fire Department is partnering with the University of North Texas Health Science Center (UNTHSC) on multiple grant -funded
initiatives aimed at enhancing training, improving patient outcomes, and expanding services for vulnerable populations, including individuals with
opioid use disorder and older adults experiencing cognitive decline. As part of these efforts, the City will receive funding through three separate
grant -supported projects. The Fort Worth Fire Department is a subrecipient under the Geriatric Workforce Enhancement Program (GWEP) grant;
however, for the National Library of Medicine Grant (NLM) and Opioid grants, the department is providing services to UNTHSC on a fee -for -
service basis rather than serving as a sub-awardee.
National Library of Medicine Grant (NLM).
The first is a one-year, non -recurring grant supporting Community Health Worker (CHW) curriculum review activities. This grant is federally funded
by the Department of Health and Human Services, Assisting Listing Number 93.879. Under this grant, three participants contributed to the review
of curriculum materials for the Health Science Center and were compensated at a rate of $50.00 per hour for up to 12 hours each. All work under
this grant has been completed, and final invoicing must be submitted prior to the grant end date of April 30, 2026. This is a reimbursement grant.
Texas Ouioid Settlement Grant
The second initiative is funded through a $15,000.00 grant awarded to UNTHSC by the City of Fort Worth to support opioid response efforts. This
grant is state -funded by the State of Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts, Opioid Abatement Fund Council, as a Community -Based Opioid
Recovery Efforts Program. Through this partnership, the Fort Worth Fire Department will deliver Motivational Interviewing (MI) training to
approximately 50 Fire Department personnel and pilot the Nurturing Futures program. These efforts are designed to improve engagement and
outcomes for patients with opioid use disorder. Training sessions are scheduled for May 4 and May 11, 2026. Project coordination includes
development of training materials, participant registration, and collaboration with UNTHSC on program implementation. This is an advanced
grant.
Geriatric Workforce Enhancement Proaram (GWEP).
The third initiative is a $25,000.00 subaward through UNTHSC's GWEP, federally funded by the Health Resources and Services Administration
(HRSA), through the Department of Health and Human Services, Assisting Listing Number 93.969. This program supports the development and
delivery of age -and dementia -friendly training for Fort Worth Fire Department personnel, including at least 85 Emergency Medical Technicians
(EMT) and paramedics and 20 Mobile Integrated Healthcare (MIH) Community Paramedics. The goal of this initiative is to improve early detection
of dementia and enhance the quality of care provided to older adults, particularly in underserved communities.
Funding from the GWEP subaward will support staff time for training development, coordination, implementation, and evaluation. Project personnel
will participate in monthly meetings, contribute to required HRSA reporting, and submit trainee and invoicing data to UNTHSC on a quarterly and
annual basis. The contract for this program has been executed, and development of online training modules is currently underway. This is a
reimbursement grant.
Summary
Collectively, these initiatives align with the City of Fort Worth's strategic priorities to enhance public health, strengthen community partnerships, and
improve service delivery for high -need populations.
Upon acceptance of the NLM Grant, all work under this grant has been completed, and final invoicing must be submitted prior to the grant end date
of April 30, 2026.
No local match is required for these funded activities. Indirect costs are not allowed under the terms of these agreements. There is no grant
application repository number, as the Fire Department did not apply for this grant.
This will support ALL COUNCIL DISTRICTS.
A Form 1295 is not required because: This contract will be with a governmental entity, state agency or public institution of higher education:
Federal and State. Federal: US DHHS and HRSA. State: Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts
FISCAL INFORMATION / CERTIFICATION:
The Director of Finance certifies that upon approval of the above recommendations and adoption of the attached appropriation ordinances, funds
will be available in the current operating budget, as appropriated, in the Grants Operating Federal Fund and Grants Operating State Fund. The
Fire Department (and Financial Management Services) will be responsible for the collection and deposit of funds due to the City. Prior to an
expenditure being incurred, the Fire Department has the responsibility to validate the availability of funds. These are reimbursement and advance
grants.
