Closing an Award
At the end of each project, the Principal Investigator (PI) must complete the closeout process. It is important to submit all deliverables (including technical reports and patent/intellectual property reports) to sponsors in a timely manner, and to assist OSPA as requested, as all reports normally must be completed and submitted within 30-90 days of the end of the project. Financial reporting is overseen by Finance's Budget and Research Administration.
NIH Closeout
A Final Progress Report should include, at a minimum, a summary statement of progress toward the achievement of the originally stated aims, a list of results (positive or negative) considered significant, and a list of publications resulting from the project as well as plans for further publications.
