Progress and financial reports are required of all BWF grants and are due on the date(s) specified in the award letter or contract. The 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, the award will be terminated.

BWF provides the following progress report guidelines to assist in preparing and submitting progress reports in an acceptable manner. The progress report and financial updates are to be submitted through Proposal Central. After logging in to Proposal Central, you can find the required deliverables listed on the home page. Failure to submit any portion of the report by the due date will result in the interruption or cancellation of your funds.
