YSREP Grants

The management of the YSREP grants is fully described in the QNRF Online Submission System.

The following research products are required from the Principle Investigator (PI).

Progress Report

At the end of each six months of each Award Year, using the online Applicant Channel, the PI shall submit a progress report to the Research Office of the Awardee institution, who, in turn, shall vet the progress report prior to final submission to QNRF via the Online RO Channel. This report should highlight progress made and detail accomplishments of each specific aim and task as well as the overall goals and objectives, including results obtained and problems or difficulties encountered. Payments will be tied to approval of satisfactory Progress Reports and will be delayed if the Awardee fails to submit satisfactory and timely Progress Reports which will be reviewed to ensure compliance with QNRF policies and guidelines. The Awardee will be notified of acceptance or of deficiencies in the Progress Report no later than four weeks from the date of receipt of the report by QNRF.

Final Report

Within 90 days of the end date of the project, using the online Applicant Channel, the PI shall submit a Final Report to the Research Office of the Awardee institution, who, in turn, shall vet the Final Report prior to final submission to QNRF via the online RO Channel. The Final Report shall include the last six months Progress Report in addition to special fields related to Final Report requirements. The Awardee shall also submit a detailed closeout financial report using the QNRF online financial template provided on the online RO Channel. Payments will be tied to approval of a satisfactory Final Report and will be delayed if the Awardee fails to submit satisfactory and timely Final Report which will be reviewed to ensure compliance with QNRF policies and guidelines. The Awardee is required to submit an electronic copy and two hard copies of each manuscript, publication, or other documented products resulting from the grant. Research products must be in accordance with QNRF’s Intellectual Property Policy. Reports will be reviewed by QNRF and the Awardee will be notified of acceptance or deficiencies within four weeks from the date of receipt of the report by QNRF. QNRF acceptance of a report that has reasonably addressed all content and format requirements shall not be unreasonably withheld.

Public Report

The PI shall submit a Project Outcome Report for the general public electronically with the Final Report. As this report is intended as a summary of the project outcome and findings for public consumption, the PI should ensure that it does not contain any confidential, proprietary information, unpublished data that might compromise publishing results in the research literature or invention disclosures that might affect IP rights. This report will include the following disclaimer:

“This Public Report is published verbatim as submitted by the PI of this award. The content is the author’s responsibility and does not necessarily reflect the views of QNRF”

Financial Statements

QNRF reserves the right to request appropriate financial statements at any time within the duration of the award, but no more frequently than once a month and such requests will reasonably accommodate the monthly financial system computing output of Awardee institution.
