Please limit your response to 1000 characters or less.

This section is an executive summary of the project. Each funded SBR project will have its own separate quarterly progress report (ETA 9178) through the quarter the project ends. Use this section to provide a short summary of the project’s purpose. This summary should only change during the life of the grant if the state has received an approved modification to the grant Statement of Work.

2. Timeline for Grant Activities and Milestones or Deliverables

Please limit your response to 1000 characters or less.

Use this section to provide the timelines for and the progress in completing grant activities, key milestones, and deliverables for this quarter. Use the timeline in the grant’s statement of work to identify all major program activities for the entire life of the grant. The timeline will paint a picture of project flow that includes start and end dates, schedule of activities, and projected outcomes. In order to reap the most benefit from the timeline, it is important that it be updated each quarter noting the actual date of completion as each activity is accomplished. Items to incorporate in the timeline include: project goals, milestones, special events, important deadlines and deliverables.

This section should also include any questions you have for DOL and note any identified needs for technical assistance from DOL or others. The narrative should also indicate whether the grantee is requesting a modification to any project strategies and how the modification request changes the original project proposal. If a modification has been requested, the narrative should also indicate the status of the modification request. If states have nothing to report, that should be specified.

5. Best Practices, Promising New Strategies and Success Stories

Please limit your response to 1000 characters or less.

Use this section to describe promising approaches, innovative processes, or grant success stories. States may also describe any lessons learned and how those lessons learned will be implemented.
