Final Data are ready to submit.


This section provides the link for PIs to submit their completed surveys. Final submission is possible once the required sections for your award are completed and trainees have completed their portion of the NRT survey.


You have chosen to notify NSF that your data are final. Are you sure you are ready to finalize the data for the current reporting period? After submission, the NRT Data Reporting System will revert to a read-only version of your data. You will be able to view your final results but not update them.


To submit your final data, click on Send Final Submission below. Click on Cancel to return to the Main Menu without submitting your data. Note: If you click Cancel, your data will be saved, and you will still be able to report or revise your data. If you are confident that you have finished reporting your data, respond to the burden question below and click Send Final Submission.
