The Civil Rights Act of 1964 “provides that no person in the United States will, on the grounds of race, color, or national origin, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance.” Grantees and delegates agencies will find this resource beneficial in developing their personnel policies and procedures.

The following is an excerpt from the HHS Grants Policy Statement.
