Would please tell me which one is grammatically correct?

 

[Tarheel]

The grammar is fine for both. However, I don't know what "reinitiate" means so I wouldn't use that one.

Transitive verb: to initiate something again.

Please note that asking about the grammar of a sentence is different from asking if it means what you want it to mean.
