Notes to SEFA
The accompanying schedule of expenditures of federal awards (the Schedule) includes the federal award activity of Puerto Rico Science, Technology and Research Trust under programs of the federal government for the year ended June 30, 2025. The information in this Schedule is presented in accordance with the requirements of Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (Uniform Guidance). Because the Schedule presents only a selected portion of the operations of the Puerto Rico Science, Technology and Research Trust, it is not intended to and does not present the financial position, changes in net assets, or cash flows of the Puerto Rico Science, Technology and Research Trust. Therefore, some amounts presented in this Schedule may differ from amounts presented in, or used in the preparation of, the consolidated financial statements. All federal agencies as well as federal awards passed through from other local government agencies are included in the Schedule.
Expenditures reported on the Schedule are reported on the accrual basis of accounting. Such expenditures are recognized following the cost principles contained in the Uniform Guidance, wherein certain types of expenditures are not allowable or are limited as to reimbursement.
The Assistance Listing Numbers (AL) (formerly Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) numbers) are the publicly available listings of Federal assistance programs. The first two digits identify the federal department or agency that administers the program, and the last three numbers are assigned by numerical sequence.
The Trust has elected not to use the 10% de minimis indirect cost rate allowed under the Uniform Guidance.
The amounts shown as current year federal expenses represent only the federal grant portion of the program costs.
During the year ended June 30, 2025, the Trust transferred $278,802 of federal awards to subrecipients.
The reconciliation of revenues in the financial statements to the schedule of expenditures of federal awards is as follows:
