(a) Prohibition against construction. Grant funds awarded under this authority may not be used for the renovation or refurbishment of research, education, or extension space; the purchase or installation of fixed equipment in such space; or the planning, repair, rehabilitation, acquisition, or construction of buildings or facilities.
(b) Prohibition on tuition remission. Tuition remission, on-campus room and board, academic fees or other financial assistance (scholarships or fellowships) are not allowed.
(c) Promotional items (e.g., T-shirts and other giveaways) and food functions (e.g., cookouts or other social or meal gatherings) are considered `entertainment' expenses, and are, therefore, also not allowed under this grants program.
