PART 21_DoD GRANTS AND AGREEMENTS_GENERAL MATTERS--Table of Contents
 
            Subpart C_The DoD Grant and Agreement Regulations
 
Sec.  21.300  What instruments are subject to the DoD Grant and Agreement Regulations (DoDGARs)?


    (a) The types of instruments that are subject to the DoDGARs vary 
from one portion of the DoDGARs to another. The types of instruments 
include grants, cooperative agreements, and technology investment 
agreements. Some portions of the DoDGARs apply to other types of 
assistance or nonprocurement instruments. The term ``awards,'' as 
defined in subpart D of this part, is used in this part to refer 
collectively to all of the types of instruments that are subject to one 
or more portions of the DoDGARs.
    (b) Note that each portion of the DoDGARs identifies the types of 
instruments to which it applies. However, grants officers and agreements 
officers must exercise caution when determining the applicability of 
some Governmentwide rules that are included within the DoDGARs, because 
a term may be defined differently in a Governmentwide rule than it is 
defined elsewhere in the DoDGARs. One example is part 33 of the DoDGARs 
(32 CFR part 33), which contains administrative requirements for awards 
to State and local governments. That DoDGARs part is the DoD's 
codification of the Governmentwide rule implementing OMB Circular A-
102.\3\ Part 33 states that it applies to grants, but defines the term 
``grant'' to include cooperative agreements and other forms of financial 
assistance.
