During the grant period

Disbursement of funds

Forte undertakes to disburse the awarded grant to the administrating organisation in accordance with the payment schedule outlined in the decision. Disbursements are normally made on a monthly basis, with one twelfth of the annual amount transferred each month, unless otherwise specified in the decision.

Payments are made once the decision becomes valid. The amounts stated in the decision are definitive. No compensation is provided for increased salary costs or other cost escalations.

The decision specifies the duration of the grant (the grant period) as well as how long the funds may be used.
