Identification
Project and organization identifiers, grant number or contract reference, and contact person to ensure unambiguous linkage to funding and records.

It helps enforce scope limits, track expenditures, and demonstrate compliance with grant terms and state law, improving transparency and risk management for boards and program managers.
