Grant personnel and officials must avoid any action that might result in or create the appearance of using their official positions for private gain; giving preferential treatment to any person; losing complete independence or impartiality; making an official decision outside of official channels; or affecting adversely the confidence of the public in the integrity of the program or the OAG.
