Project Status Reports
The Commission requires interim status reports with each reimbursement request, and in all cases, at a minimum of every six months following the execution of the grant agreement, until the recipient submits a final status report and the grant closes. A final project status report is due at the same time that a grant recipient submits a final request for payment.
