Report Tracking

Awarding agencies often require grantees to periodically submit project reports according to express terms and conditions in the award instrument, which may include financial, technical, intellectual, procurement, property and other specialized reports during the life of a research project. 

Such reports can be configured, produced, printed, exported, and tracked in the KC system by using the Award Report Tracking screen, which provides customizable Lookup screen functionality. 

Award Reporting Lookup allows you to generate timely, accurate reports that can be used to comply with sponsor reporting requirements and avoid loss of payment or future funding from a sponsor.

Admins and PI/Co-PI/Key Personnel have access to view the award, the list of required reports and the status.
