annual and final performance reports, 

grantees are required to provide data on 

established performance measures for 

the grant program (e.g., Government 

Performance and Results Act measures)

approved grant application. The RPPR 

will contain research and related (total 

federal and non-federal) budgetary 

forms that will be used to collect 

budgetary data from the recipient 

organization. The information submitted 

will be used to conduct periodic 

administrative/budgetary reviews.
