LITERATURE FELLOWSHIPS Reporting Requirements
For awards made before September 30, 2017
Rev. 12.2017

The Reporting Requirements applicable to your grant are described below. Please follow these instructions
carefully. The General Terms & Conditions for Literature Fellowships (General Terms), report forms, and
instructions are on our Manage Your Award section of our website for awards made before September 30,
2017. The NEA reserves the right to request additional information or work product(s) at any time.

For Translation Projects: As noted in the General Terms, grant activities should be consistent with those
approved for funding by the NEA. If changes in the project are believed necessary, you must send a written
request with justification to the Office of Grants Management Office before implementation. The Progress or
Final Reports should not be used for conveying and/or requesting approval for any changes.

PROGRESS REPORT
One Progress Report will be required during the grant period. It is submitted as Section 6 of the Payment
Request Form for Literature Fellowships. The Progress Report is due when you request over two-thirds of the
award amount. The Progress Report must include:
1. a description of all activities supported by the grant that have been undertaken since the grant period
start date, and
2. any grant supported activities planned for the remainder of the grant period (e.g., research, travel, or
other related activities).
FINAL REPORTING REQUIREMENT
All grantees are required to submit acceptable Final Report packages to the Office of Grants Management
Office no later than 90 days after the grant end date. Information submitted as part of the Final Report
package must include your name and grant number. You will be ineligible for any future NEA grants if you
fail to submit required and acceptable Final Report packages for previously awarded grants.
The online Final Descriptive Report for Literature Fellowships is available at
www.arts.gov/manageaward/LitOnlineInstructions.
The narrative should provide information about the impact or benefit of this fellowship on your artistic
development. It should also include a brief description of work you accomplished with NEA support during the
grant period including major achievements and any significant problems encountered, and information about
any public readings or presentations, including locations, and publication plans. Please limit your response to
two pages.
This report is also used to certify that NEA funds have been used for the purpose(s) for which the grant was
awarded. You can submit this report online (see next page), by e-mail to the Office of Grants Management
Office at finalreports@arts.gov, or by fax to (202) 682-5610.

Acknowledgment of NEA Support
As indicated in the General Terms, grantees must acknowledge the NEA's support in all materials regarding
this grant. The NEA encourages the display, in a prominent manner, of the Agency’s logo in association with
the acknowledgment. Copies of our logo are available on our website.
Future Publication, Awards, and Other Honors. Each project develops its own history, often long after the
Final Report has been submitted. New information related to your project—future publication(s), reviews,
awards and honors, other opportunities—is appreciated by the NEA. Our ability to document the
effectiveness of our programs is facilitated by the assistance we receive from our grantees. Contact the
Literature Program regarding how to best provide this information at (202) 682 - 5707. Include your name and
grant number on all information sent.
As a reminder, all Federal awarding agencies retain a royalty-free right to use all or a portion of their grantees’
final report material for Federal purposes (e.g., the use of final report work products to document the results
of our grant programs), including placement on a Federal Web site. For more information see the General
Terms.
