3. If results were not as expected for the project/program or its clients, what strategies are being used to address concerns?
4. What lessons have been learned while working on these objectives?

6. What do you consider the most notable project/program accomplishments during the past year?
7. Provide an accounting of expenses incurred and funds expended to date in carrying out the terms of the Grant Agreement. Were actual costs consistent with estimates? Please explain significant variances.
