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.

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 Arts Endowment. Our ability to document the effectiveness of our programs is facilitated
by the assistance we receive from our grantees. Contact the Literary Arts Program regarding how to best
provide this information at Literature@arts.gov. Include your name and grant number on all information sent.
