Supplemental Information
Provide the information required by Part I, line 2 (monitoring of funds); Part I, line 3, column (f) (accounting method; amounts of investments vs. expenditures per region); Part II, line 1 (accounting method); Part III (accounting method); and Part III, column (c) (estimated number of recipients), as applicable. Also complete this part to provide any additional information (see instructions).

ReturnReference	Explanation
Schedule F, Part I, Line 2 Procedures for monitoring use of grant funds	Grants or other assistance are awarded to foreign organizations or entities pursuant to the University policies and procedures for all grant subawards. Such subawards are monitored through the University's office for Sponsored Research (OSR) and the University's office of Accounting Services for Research and Sponsored Programs (ASRSP). All subaward documentation including purchase orders, related charges and invoices are reviewed and monitored by ASRSP and confirmed with the principal investigator. The principal investigator must certify that the subaward costs are in accordance with OMB A-21 cost principles; also, ASRSP requests and collects audit reports from subaward recipients to monitor compliance. If the information is not furnished to ASRSP, payment may be withheld. Grants and other assistance are awarded to students on the basis of financial need following University policies developed to meet regulatory requirements (federal methodology) and guided by the College Board (institutional methodology). Merit scholarships are awarded based upon talent (eg, academic, music, and athletic). All of these awarded grants are allowed to be used by the students towards any type of costs; no subsequent monitoring is required.
Schedule F, Part II, Line 1 Method used to account for cash grants	In connection with the monitoring of subawards through OSR, approved purchase orders and invoices are documented and accounted for in the University's electronic financial recording system, and such amounts are reflected in Part II, Line 1. Of the 41 organizations that received grants in Part II, 32 are universities, colleges, and hospitals; five are research centers; one is a healthcare NGO; and two are section 501(c)(3) organizations.
Schedule F, Part III(c) Estimated number of recipients	Cash grants given to individuals are recorded in an electronic reporting tool. The data recorded includes information as to participation by undergraduate students in study abroad programming. Individual recipients of cash grants are coded with unique identifying numbers. Grants associated with undergraduate students coded as participating in a study abroad are reviewed to assess whether there is an overlap between the grant disbursement date and the date of the applicable study abroad program. The number of such students, based on their unique identifying numbers, are summed and reflected in Part III, column (c).
Schedule F, Part I, Line 1 Program Services	The program services listed in Part I reflect international educational programs in which the University has material involvement in the design, development and/or control of the program and/or curriculum. While Northwestern University provides its students with access to a multitude of study abroad programs and exchanges located throughout the world, the University does not administer or operate the educational courses taught by all of these programs. Rather, under reciprocity and affiliation agreements, the University helps facilitate its student's access to such international programs and recognizes credit earned by students at such foreign educational institutions, and such exchange programs are excluded from Schedule F, Part I. Under Northwestern University's current accounting procedures, all expenses associated with study abroad programs are not separately tracked, and therefore some expenditures per program are not listed in Part I, column (f).
Schedule F, Part I, Line 3(f) Method used to account for expenditures	Expenditures reported in Part I are prepared using the accrual method of accounting. University activities are assigned a unique identifying number. Direct expenses are recorded with respect to each activity in the University's electronic financial recording system. Such direct expenses, for the relevant tax year, are reflected in column (f)
