Reporting

Throughout the ECV period of performance, you must respond to the HRSA Health Center COVID-19 survey. 

Failure to respond regularly to the Health Center COVID-19 survey may result in HRSA placing additional terms, conditions, and/or reporting requirements on your award.

Within 90 days of the end of the period of performance, you must submit a final report. Reports will document completed activities and use of ECV funds and may request additional information such as issues and barriers experienced while implementing projects, successes/promising practices, and lessons learned. Details about the final reporting will be posted to this webpage when available.
