Submitting progress and final reports
Everyone receiving project funding from the Research Council is required to submit reports during the project period and after the project is concluded. Your contract provides information regarding the deadlines for submitting your reports.
| The Project Owner is to submit progress report when The Research Council of Norway requests it. |
Progress reports
The progress report describes the activities that have been carried out and the results achieved under the project since the previous report.
See the guidelines on how to fill in a progress report.pdf
We must review and approve the progress report, and any notifications of changes to the project before funding can be disbursed.
Final reports
The final report describes the activities that have been carried out and the results achieved over the entire project period.
You are also to state whether the project has achieved the results set out in the grant proposal.
See: guidelines on how to fill in the final report.pdf
The final report must be submitted at the latest one month after the project has been completed. The report must be approved by the Research Council before the final disbursement will be paid out.
