In making such inquiries, our goal is not to be the fact-finder. If we conclude you lack the necessary policies, procedures, and practices, or have failed to investigate the situation in a fair and expeditious manner, we may take such action as we deem appropriate under the circumstances, including, but not limited to, suspending future grant payments until you have addressed the situation to our satisfaction or, in extreme cases, terminating the grant. Absent urgent circumstances, prior to taking any action, we will discuss the proposed course of action with you and provide you with an opportunity to respond and suggest corrective action.
