INTERIM REPORTING REQUIREMENTS FOR EXTENDED GRANTS
Although your Partnership Agreement has been extended you are required to submit an INTERIM
descriptive report, with all available data, by the original Final Descriptive Report due date (90 days
after the grant original end-date) to the NEA and National Assembly of State Arts Agencies
(NASAA). The interim data allows the NEA and NASAA to keep the state and regional database
current and respond to Congressional and media inquiries with more complete and up-to-date
information.
Note: NEA future grants will not be awarded to State Arts Agencies that are delinquent in
submitting the required interim descriptive report.
The interim descriptive report consists of the following,
• DETAIL section, TOTALS page, and Data Sequencing Form: include all available fields
and data you have at the time that the interim report is due. (This is the listing of your
activities in National Standard format. The share field information is critical because it allows
us to document the reach of Federal funds.) On activities for which grants have been
awarded, but not completed, provide information for fields 1-17, 21-24, and 29-32.
