Mobilize grants
Post-award
Reporting
All College and Community Innovation grant holders must regularly report on their use of grant funds, research activities and research outcomes. Grantees will be requested to submit at least one progress report and a final report, and reports may also be requested from partners and trainees, if applicable. You will be provided with additional information about reporting requirements upon receiving your award letter.
See the Resources page for report templates.
Notifying NSERC about changes
You are not required to strictly adhere to the budget presented in the proposal, as long as the grant funds are used for research, training and other eligible activities for which they were intended. You must ensure that the budget line items (e.g., equipment, overhead, etc.) comply with the Tri-agency guide on financial administration, Part 2: Use of grant funds (with exceptions noted under Funding).
The administering institution must complete a Grant Amendment Form and submit it to grantsadministration@nserc-crsng.gc.ca (with CC to colleges@nserc-crsng.gc.ca) to inform NSERC of administrative changes, such as:
- Deferral of grant instalment
- Extension period for the authority to use grant funds
- Continuing eligibility
- Changes to individuals on the grant team
- Termination of a grant
For additional information on administrative changes, consult Part 6: Administrative changes of the Tri-agency guide on financial administration.
Extension of grants
A one-year time extension to use the grant funds beyond the grant end date is automatically provided for all Mobilize grants. Contact colleges@nserc-crsng.gc.ca for additional information on grant extensions.
