Is the TIGER Grant an expense first/reimburse grant? And what would the reimbursement turnaround time frame be?
No, TIGER Grants are not planned to be expense first/ reimburse first grants, even though it is considered to be a “reimbursable grant program”. Therefore, as a technical matter, there is no requirement for the grantee to first outlay its own funds in order to be reimbursed for the expenditure. In the event that the administration of a specific grant should require it to be expense first/ reimburse first, this detail would be indicated in the terms of the specific grant agreement.
