Technical
reports are the responsibility of the project director.
Many grant documents either include the report information
or incorporate, by reference, the document that contains
the information detailing required reports. Interim
reports may be required, and it is a rare agency that
does not require a final technical report, usually
within 90 days after the end of the project. Some
agencies require the submission of the technical report
along with the final fiscal report.
Fiscal reports are the responsibility of Financial
Management Support (FMS) and are submitted as required
by the granting agency. The nature of the reporting
process may require that FMS contact the project director
or account manager before the report can be prepared.
There may be outstanding orders that need to be cleared
before the report can be submitted, or the report
may need the signature of the project director or
the account manager.
It
is imperative that all technical and fiscal reports
are submitted by their due dates or that approval
for late submissions is obtained from the sponsoring
agency. Failure to do so may jeopardize future funding
from the agency.
