Eligibility & Application Process:

Progress Reporting

Progress and financial reports are required of all BWF grants and are due on the date(s) specified in ProposalCentral. Advisory Committee and staff depend heavily upon progress and financial reports to evaluate progress. Late reports inconvenience advisory committee reviewers and impede BWF's evaluation of its programs. Failure to submit progress or financial reports in a timely fashion will result in payments being withheld, and if submissions are missed repeatedly, will result in termination of the award.

BWF provides the following progress report guidelines below to assist in the preparation and submission of Progress Reports in an acceptable manner. The progress report and financial updates are to be submitted through Proposal Central. You can find required deliverables listed on the home page after logging in to Proposal Central. Failure to submit any portion of the report by the due date will result in an interruption or cancellation of your funds.

Progress Report

The progress report requires the awardee to submit a written report on the progress of the original or approved update to research project aims, an updated biographical sketch, a letter of support, and any recent publications. Details regarding each section are in Proposal Central. The progress report must be submitted annually on November 1st.

Financial Report

Awardees are required to update award spending in the Proposal Central budget summary. Awardees should update the financial report twice each year and provide up-to-date spending information from the previous six months. Details regarding financial reporting can be found in Proposal Central. Financial reports are due biannually on February 1st and August 1st.

Report Format

All progress and financial reporting materials should be submitted through Proposal Central. If you have questions, please contact Lama Haidar (lhaidar@bwfund.org).
