Final report
A final report must be submitted once the grant has been finalised.
When should I submit the final report?

- This is a requirement to be eligible to apply for a new grant
- You find the availability period dates in the online grant management system.
- The main applicant is responsible for submitting the final report.
- The deadline for submitting the final report is dependent on the grant application number (the terms has changed)
- For grants with application numbers D2026-, P2026-, O2026- and later: At latest 30 April following the end of the availablity period.

How do I submit the final report?
- Using the CIF online grant management system.
- The report consists of two parts – a financial and a scientific report.
- The financial report is completed and submitted directly within the grant management system. It requires the main applicant´s signature using BankID. If you do not have BankID, please contact the CIF office for assistance.
- The scientific report is also completed and submitted directly within the grant management system. It does not require a signature.
- Once a complete final report has been submitted, CIF will review it and may request additional information. The approval status will be displayed in the grant management system.
What are the project period and the availability period?
During the project period, the project is considered ongoing. In that case, you cannot apply for a new grant of the same type from CIF. For a two-year grant, the project period is two years.
The project period is followed by an availability period, typically 12 months. During the availability period, the grant is no longer considered ongoing. Once the availability period has expired, the funds may no longer be used.
Both the project and availability periods are specified in the grant’s terms and conditions and in the application system.
What should the final report include?
The final report consists of a financial and a scientific report. The specific requirements for the scientific report may vary depending on the grant type.
Provide the following, organised by year
- Salaries (including social security contributions)
- Operating costs (materials, equipment, instruments)
- Compensation paid to trial subjects
- Travel expenses
- Other costs
- Overhead costs
Additionally, specify any co-financing received, including the name of the co-financier and the amount provided.
What should be done with any excess funds?
