Budget modification GAM

Financial GAMs are used to modify budget details or approve a budget that received a conditional clearance when awarded (a process performed by a DOJ Financial Analyst). There are three types:

• Budget Modification GAM
• Sole Source GAM
• Budget Reduction GAM (COPS Office awards only)

A Budget Modification GAM is a type of Financial GAM used to add program income. Each budget category can be updated and once the updated amount is entered, JustGrants will calculate the requested changes. You can add, subtract, or edit the category totals. The Revised Budget column can never be negative, and the Federal Award Amount cannot be edited. Federal Funds Amount + Match Amount + Program Income Amount must equal Total Project Costs.

A Grant Award Modification (GAM) is a request for a modification to a key element of a funded award. Most GAMs can be initiated by the grantee’s Grant Award Administrator or the Alternate Grant Award Administrator but must be approved by DOJ personnel. Types of GAMS:

• Project Period Extension GAM
• Programmatic GAM (Programmatic Cost GAM and Scope Change GAM)
• Financial GAMs (Budget Reduction GAM, Budget Modification GAM, and Sole Source GAM)
