Progress Report Template

The Office of Management and Budget’s (OMB) uniform guidance requires progress reporting, as well as final reporting for project closeout. The uniform guidance requires that pass-through entities and subrecipients use OMB-approved, common information collections when providing performance information and financial data in reports (§200.329(b)). The reports must include: (1) a comparison of the accomplishments to the objectives of the federal award established for the reporting period, (2) explanations on why established goals or objectives were not met, and (3) additional information, analysis and explanation of cost overruns or higher-than-expected unit costs. Recipients and subrecipients are also to note: (a) significant developments that enables meeting milestones and objectives sooner or at less cost than anticipated or that produce different results than originally planned; and (b) delays or adverse conditions that will impact their ability to meet the milestones or objectives of the federal award.
