During the course of the award, the funder may have reporting requirements, including uploading outputs to Researchfish and submitting data to the UK Data Service.

At the end of the report, some funders also require a full writting report on the running of the grant, including outcomes, output, financial matters and any plans or future collaborations which may emerge from the grant.

This report, if required, must be completed by the PI.  Should you have any queries about the contents of the report, please liaise with the SoSS Research Ops team and Research Finance.

Failure to submit the report or to complete Researchfish requirements may result in a PI becoming ineligible for further grants or grant funds being subject to retention by the funder.

At the end of the award, Research Finance will prepare a financial expenditure statement/report for submission to the funder.  The report is used to reconcile the actual expenditure with the payments made and ensure that all spend complied with the funders requirements.

If the financial expenditure statement is not submitted within a specified period at the end of the grant, the funder may recover a proportion of the expenditure incurred on the grant.

Research Finance will prepare the financial statement, but are likely to require input from the PI and SoSS Research Operations team to ensure that funds spent have been allocated to the correct Task Codes and deal with any queries as to what funds have been spent on what items.

The financial statement must be approved by the PI prior to submission.

If you have any outcomes to disseminate, please contact the School of Social Sciences' Research Promotion and Liaison Manager, Jay Amin (jay.amin@manchester.ac.uk) who will be able to assist and advise appropriately.
