All sponsored projects have requirements for reporting to the sponsor, which are usually stipulated in the award terms and conditions. PIs/PDs should submit progress and final reports on time. Failure to do so could result in a loss of future funding and/or non-payment to UNH to reimburse for project expenses. PIs/PDs should contact their OSR GCA* for assistance with submitting reports.

PIs/PDs are required to submit certain reports to sponsors at the close of a sponsored project. These may include:

• A final technical report
• A final inventions report

The sponsor may require a specific format for reports. PIs/PDs should review the terms and conditions of the award for these, and for any additional reports the sponsor requires. Many sponsors require electronic report submission.

Financial reporting for the institution is performed by the UNH OSR Financial Management Group (FMG). In some cases, in order for FMG to submit financial reports and invoices to the sponsor, the PI/PD must provide detailed invoice documentation, proper cost sharing documentation, and/or a narrative progress report. It is the PI’s/PD’s responsibility to provide this information to FMG in a timely manner.

Some non-profit (e.g., foundation) sponsors require financial information in the PI’s/PD’s technical report. The PI/PD should coordinate submission of this information with OSR’s Financial Management Group (FMG) billing specialist*.

If the reason that a sponsor does not reimburse UNH for actual expenses is due to a late or non-existent PI/PD report, the PI/PD may be held financially responsible for reimbursing UNH.

*PIs/PDs in EOS should contact their BSC.
