Final Results in NRS

Final results are due March 1st for capacity projects that have ended. Typically, the end date will be September 30th of the prior year and PIs will complete a final report the following year by March 1st. 

The result recorded for the final Fiscal Year during which the project is active will be considered the basis for the final report. Additional details and features may be added to formally close out the project, but the minimum requirement will be to submit a result for that final period of time.

Final Reports in REEport

Reports for USDA-NIFA grants on the anniversary reporting cycle can be completed up to 90 days preceding the anniversary date through 90 days after. Early submission is appreciated.

In REEport, final reports appear exactly the same as progress reports, with the same data fields and questions. However, the data entered in a final report should apply to the PROJECT DURATION, not just the final reporting year (progress reports only cover one reporting period/year). The only exception to this rule is the FTEs on the Participants page and Products/Other Products. In the Final Report, you should report FTEs for the reporting period only, just the same you would as if you were filling out a Progress Report for the final year of the project. For the Products (including publications) and Other Products, include only those items that have not been previously reported.

IMPORTANT: Please write for an educated but non-scientific audience. Keep in mind that not only scientists, but administrators, state and federal officials, and legislative officials read and use these reports. They are made available to the public and the quality of the information provided to readers reflects strongly on the research, the investigator(s), and the institution, and has a decided influence on State and Federal levels of research funding.

When you are finished, you should "Submit for Review". That will place your report in the "Pending submission" folder, where we will know it is ready for review by the AES Director's Office. REEport does not notify the AES Director's Office when a report is pending, please email Claire Montoya when you have submitted your report.
