FRA Reports
During the term of the grant or cooperative agreement, all FRA grantees must submit:
- Progress reports on a quarterly basis (FRA Quarterly Progress Report)
- Federal financial reports on a quarterly basis (Federal Financial Report – SF-425)
- Final report on or before the end of the period of performance (Final Performance Report)
Grantees who received funding through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA or Recovery Act) must fulfill additional reporting requirements and should consult the ARRA Reporting Requirements page for more information.
The following provides an overview of the three required reports that grantees must submit for all open and active grants with FRA.

FRA Quarterly Progress Report
Most FRA grant agreements require that grantees submit a quarterly progress report, which will be used to track project activities and progress against the approved milestones in the Statement of Work (SOW). Grantees should record and report progress for the current reporting period. The main component of the progress report is a performance narrative, which includes a summary of key events for the quarter. In the future, FRA will request performance measurement data as part of the progress report.

Federal Financial Report (SF-425)
FRA grant agreements require that grantees submit a complete Standard Form 425 (SF-425), “Federal Financial Report,” on a quarterly basis. FRA uses the financial report to compare the rate of a grantee’s actual expenditures to the planned amounts in the approved project budget. FRA may analyze financial information against performance data to verify that expenditure amounts align with project activities.

Final Performance Report
At the end of the period of performance, grantees must submit a final report. The final report should describe the cumulative activities of the project, including a complete description of the grantee’s achievements with respect to the project objectives and milestones. The grant manager cannot begin a closeout until this report, or an equivalent final deliverable, is submitted.
Final Performance Report Due Date
Due within 90 days of the end of the project performance period (i.e., the expiration date of the NGA). This does not apply to ARRA funding.
