INSTRUCTIONS FOR FINAL REPORTS TO THE NIH

Final Progress Report
The Final Progress Report may be typed on plain white paper and at a minimum should include:

• A summary statement of progress toward the achievement of the originally stated aims.
• A list of results (positive and negative) considered significant.
• A list of publications.
• A face page is NOT needed.

An original and one copy of the document must be submitted to the NIH.

The Final Progress Report and Final Invention Statement are sent to the same institute/center-specific address, which is found on the final year award notice. A copy of the award notice is kept in the Office of Research.

NOTE: Although it is not an absolute requirement to route the final progress report through the WFUSM Office of Research, it is recommended that the final progress report be submitted to the NIH along with the Final Inventions Statement, which must be reviewed and approved by the Office of Research.

Final Invention Statement (PHS 568)
Complete the Final Invention Statement (If No Inventions, state "None") and send (preferably with the Final Progress Report) to the Office of Research for Institutional signature.

The Final Progress Report and Final Invention Statement are sent together to the institute/center-specific address, which is found on the final year award notice. A copy of the award notice is kept in the Office of Research.

Final Financial Statement (SF 269)
This document is generated and submitted by the WFUSM Controller's Office and requires no action by the principal investigator.
