Award Closeout

Final Report Submission

What

NIH award recipients are responsible for submitting timely and accurate Research Performance Progress Reports (RPPR) (NOT-OD-17-074).

There are three types of progress reports:

  1. Annual RPPR
  2. Interim RPPR
  3. Final RPPR

When

Refer to the NIH Research Performance Progress Report (RPPR) website for reporting due dates.

Financial Closeout

In preparation for the Federal Financial Report (FFR) administrators should begin review of ledgers in Sinai Central 90 days prior to project end date.

  • A final closeout is due 120 days after the project period is ended.
  • Finance (SPA) provides a detail excel sheet with all of the year to date expenses and requires justification on all non-allowable charges.
  • All expenses and invoices must hit the ledger accurately.
  • Once the Federal Financial Report (FFR) closeout package is completed, a signature from the PI and department administrator is required.

For more information, refer to the sponsored projects Financial Closeout Policy.
