Reporting provides sponsors with key information about the progress of a funded project. Reports document accountability and compliance with the terms of the award and are used by sponsors to monitor progress and stewardship of funds.
Progress and other required reports are typically outlined in the award document. Investigators and administrators should refer to the award for specific reporting requirements and due dates.
Types of Reports
- Program Reports: Program reports provide narratives and updates about funded projects. These reports are used by sponsor stakeholders such as donor communities, boards of directors, or Congress.
- Fiscal and Compliance Reports: Fiscal and other required reports document financial accountability and compliance with the terms of the award.
- Progress Reports: Progress reports are usually required by the sponsor during the life of an award. Submission of progress reports may be required in order to continue funding and to meet sponsor requirements.
