Reporting and Deliverables

• A sponsor of an award will typically require periodic reporting during the life of a research project as a means to receive information on the progress of the project.  The frequency and due dates of the reporting, as well as any specifications on the content of the reporting, will differ between awards, as the needs of each sponsor differ.  Additionally, depending upon the nature of the project, a sponsor may require physical deliverables at certain intervals.

• Specific reporting and deliverable requirements are typically set forth in the sponsor's award documents or in policies or documents incorporated by reference.  Both the award documents and the UCSB Award Synopsis will identify the specific reporting requirements or provide reference to the specific requirements for interim reporting.

• The Principal Investigator should review the provisions of each award and make sure that they are aware of such requirements and the dates for submission.
