Progress Reports
Principle Invesigators (PI's) are responsible for preparing interim and final reports as required by the funding agency. Your grants specialist or contract manager will notify you in advance of when these reports are due. Submit the reports to your grants specialist or contract manager, who will then forward them to the appropriate funding agency.
Reporting requirements for contracts and cooperative agreements are award-specific. Contact your contract manager for details regarding your award.
If your sponsor does not specify a format for these reports, click here for some general guidelines.
Unobligated Balance on an NIH Progress Report
When you declare in an NIH progress report that a 25% or greater carry-forward unobligated balance is available for your grant, please provide the following information:
- A detailed explanation of why the balance exists;
- How the balance will be spent in the coming year; and
- A detailed budget.
This will help to avoid a delay in NIH approving the carry-forward balance.
