CORE Grants: Award Policy
Grant Award Policies Interim Progress Report
The interim progress report is a brief assessment of your project’s accomplishments and limitations from the first half of the award period. The form is completed after the initial six months (for one-year projects), or after one year (for two-year projects). A blank report is located here. Send the completed form to the attention of the Research Unit at the AAO-HNSF office.
Final Progress Report
The final progress report is similar to the Interim Progress Report. Recipients are required to submit a final progress report within thirty (30) days of the end of the grant period. At a minimum, you will want to include a summary of progress toward the originally stated aims, methods, and results. The form for the final progress report is here. Send the completed form to the attention of the Research Unit at the AAO-HNSF office.
Financial Status Report
Recipients are required to submit a financial status report within ninety (90) days of the end of the grant period. Any portion of the grant unexpended at the completion of the project or at the end of the period, and any authorized extensions thereof, shall be returned to the Foundation within fifteen (15 days). The financial status report is usually created through your institution’s grants and contracts office. The report is a statement of expenditures sent to the AAO-HNSF office. The report should include grant information, the period of award, and a summary of transactions. Send the report to the attention of the Research Unit at the AAO-HNSF office.
Request for Rebudgeting
After a grant or contract has been awarded, the approved budget allocations are not always consistent with actual project needs. You may request the reallocation of funds from one spending category to another category that better reflects your project requirements. This process is called Rebudgeting or Budget Revision. The alteration between budget categories does not change the total research dollars for the project. If you intend to submit a Request for Rebudgeting, please state in detail how the requested action will benefit your program. Include details on why (or how) the funds are available for rebudget. Send the letter to the attention of the Research Unit at the AAO-HNSF office.
No Cost Extension
A no cost extension allows the grant recipient to extend the period of the award term. The extension may be no longer than six months past the original end of the project period. Requests for extension of the grant period must be submitted in writing by the Principal Investigator no later than one month prior to the end of the grant period (June 1). No additional funding will be provided by the foundation for the extended period. Extensions greater than six months will not be approved. Send the letter to the attention of the Research Unit at the AAO-HNSF office.
