Progress Reporting
To reduce reporting burden, Strategic Partnerships is changing the reporting cycle for the ARP progress report submissions from quarterly to bi-annually. This reporting change was effective as of May 2022 and will impact all program reports, including the HCCNs (HQC), NTTAPs (U3F) and PCAs (U5F). Consequently, February 2023 reports will no longer be required. Below is the updated reporting calendar:
| Reporting Period | ARP Report EHBs Portal Opens | ARP Report Due Date | ARP Report Change Request Deadline |
|---|---|---|---|
| May 1, 2022 – October 31, 2022 | November 1, 2022 | November 10, 2022 | December 14, 2022 |
| November 1, 2022 – April 30, 2023 | May 1, 2023 | May 10, 2023 | June 13, 2023 |
As stated on your Notice of Award (NoA), you must submit U5F quarterly reports and a final report in EHBs. HRSA will notify you about the due dates for each report and share additional resources on what they will include.
