Required Disclaimer
The Grant Agreement, which is also incorporated as part of our grant award, requires that the following language should be included when issuing statements, press releases, request for proposals, bid solicitation, and other documents describing MoSTEM projects or programs.
In addition, The Solicitation for Grant Applications (SGA), which is incorporated as part of our grant award requires that disclaimer language be included on all work developed in whole or in part with grant funds, including all curriculum, online/hybrid courses, boosters and other products.
To meet both criteria, the following language should be included on all grant documents and public announcements
This [document, project, event or program] is 100% funded by the MoSTEMWINs $19.7 million grant from the U.S. Department of Labor, Employment and Training Administration (TAACCCT). The product was created by the grantee and does not necessarily reflect the official position of the U.S. Department of Labor. The Department of Labor makes no guarantees, warranties or assurances of any kind, express or implied, with respect to such information, including any information on linked sites and including, but not limited to, accuracy of the information or its completeness, timeliness, usefulness, adequacy, continued availability, or ownership.
If your document, project, event or program is not funded 100% by DOL, as a requirement, state the percentage of the total cost of the program (i.e. is 25 % funded by the MoSTEMWINs…).
In addition, all work that is developed by the grantee with grant funds is required to be licensed under the CC BY license, and all of these documents must be uploaded to skillscommons.org.
