Contributions from partners, stakeholders, and collaborators are often central to the success of a grant application because they can provide the vital expertise, buy-in, and resources needed to effectively execute your project.
In this session we will review profiles of different key collaborators in the grant development process, looking at what they bring to the table and how you can best draw them into your orbit.

]]>Background:
Meeting deliverable requirements is a critical component of sponsored awards. In particular, timely submission of all Reports – and, in particular, Annual Progress Reports, Outcomes Reports, and Final Technical Reports -- are an integral part of the terms and conditions of the Award. The Principal Investigator (PI) is responsible for ensuring all technical deliverables/reports are submitted on time to NSF (with a copy provided to OSP as well) by the specified due date.
Overdue reports have come under greater scrutiny recently and require greater diligence and compliance to ensure that ALL reports are submitted on time. Failure to submit a Report by the deadline may result in NSF taking any and/or all of the following actions that may have explicit negative consequences and impacts for the PI and Co-Is on the Project, other UMBC Departments, and in extreme cases, the University as whole:
Procedure For All NSF Reports:
Project reports must be submitted by the PI in Research.gov no later than 90-days prior to the end of the current budget period to provide sufficient time for review and approval by the cognizant NSF Program Officer. The report becomes overdue the day after the end of the current budget period if it has not been submitted by the PI and approved by the cognizant NSF Program Officer.
NSF currently sends out automated notifications (from email: reporting@nsf.gov) around the first day of each month. These notifications alert the PI and OSP of pending due dates for various Reports, including Annual Progress, Outcomes, and Final Technical Reports. These emails are sent at the 30-, 60-, and 90-Day mark prior to the end of the current budget period. Notifications are also sent by NSF in the event that your Report is overdue. The Due Date for the Report is one (1) day after the end date of the current budget period. These automated notifications provide the impetus for the PI to submit their Reports.
Additionally, a running list of all NSF Reports and upcoming overdue dates are provided on Research.gov (navigate to the “Awards & Reporting/Project Reports” page) and can be accessed by OSP personnel at any time. The OSP Manager will follow-up with the PI if they fail to submit the Report by the stated due date.
Please consult and bookmark the following link to the NSF Proposal and Award Policies and Procedures Guide (NSF PAPPG (NSF 24-1) as it pertains to NSF Reporting Requirements (see NSF 24-1 Chapter VII.D). Additionally, please see the Uniform Guidance (2 CFR Part 200) and be compliant with the Federal Annual Reporting Guidelines as specified in 2 CFR 200.328.
Procedure & Consequences for Submitting Late NSF Final Reports:
If a Final Technical Report is due, the OSP Close-out Manager will coordinate with the PI’s OSP Grants and Contracts Manager to ensure that the PI is not being unnecessarily emailed twice and to clarify any potential extenuating circumstances.
1. Upon becoming aware of a past due technical report or at 30 days past due, the OSP Grants and Contracts Manager will email the PI with a “cc” to the unit business office that the report is past due, and should be submitted asap.
2. At 60 days past due, a reminder will be sent to the PI, cc’ing the unit business office and the unit Chair or Director, and the Associate Dean for Research.
3. At 90 days, the OSP Grants and Contracts Manager will forward the previous PI email and notify the OSP Director, who will send an email to the PI cc’ing the unit business office, the Chair, the Associate Dean for Research, and the Dean as well as the Associate Vice President for Research (AVPR). The OSP Director will indicate that if the report is not submitted within the next 30 days, it may lead to the suspension of OSP processing any award actions for any of the PI’s awards until the overdue report has been cleared.
4. At 120 days, the ORCA AVPR will email the PI cc’ing the unit business office, the unit Chair or Director, the Associate Dean for Research, and the Dean about enforcement action that may include suspension of award actions by OSP.
A Special Note on the Submission of FINAL Reports:
From 2 CFR 200.344: “All financial, performance, and other reports as required by the terms and conditions of the Federal award must be submitted no later than 120 calendar days after the end date of the period of performance. A subrecipient must submit to the pass-through entity, no later than 90 calendar days (or an earlier date as agreed upon by the pass-through entity and subrecipient) after the end date of the period of performance, all financial, performance, and other reports as required by the terms and conditions of the Federal award”.
As reflected in the Project Report System, the report is considered due during the 120-day period. If the report has not been submitted by the PI and approved by the cognizant NSF Program Officer within the 120-days period, the report becomes overdue.
Submitting late FINAL Reports may have additional implications as specified in 2 CFR 200.344(i), there is a failure to submit all reports within one year of the period of performance end date, , the Federal awarding agency must report the non-Federal entity's material failure to comply with the terms and conditions of the award with the OMB-designated integrity and performance system (currently FAPIIS). Federal awarding agencies may also pursue other enforcement actions per § 200.339.
It is imperative that ALL FINAL Financial, Technical, and Other Reports are submitted by the specified Due Date!
