This status does not say whether a person has read any linked passage. Each evidence record above shows how it was checked.
Relation. A public body states an award, grant or selection, with its stage: preliminary, final or disbursed. A preliminary award is not a final one, and a final award is not disbursement.
Date. Date of the NIST release announcing the final award; the award agreement itself was not retrieved (integrator’s correction before the audit: basis was "approval").
