Initial Grants vs. Amendments Amendments are treated the same in the review process as initial grants, so all of the requirements from above are still applicable. The difference is the information from the older version of the grant stays and the amendment information is added. 17 Extended Budget DescriptionsProject Details Milestones and Environmental Findings Any EBD’s affected by the amendment should include an explanation of the changes. This should be done on top of the original EBD. The explanation should start with the following: “Amendment #1 – (DATE OF CHANGES)”. Then, explain what you have done in the EBD for each affected ALI and why. The project details should also describe what changes are occurring in this amendment. It should cite each ALI that is being altered in the amendment and by how much. This explanation should be made above the original project details and likewise begin with “Amendment #1 – (DATE OF CHANGES)”. Ensure each new ALI has at least 2 milestone dates and an environmental finding entered in TEAM.
