PROGRESS REPORT
One Progress Report will be required during the grant period. It is submitted as Section 7 of the Payment
Request Form for Grants to Individuals. The Progress Report is due the first time you request more than twothirds of the award amount. The Progress Report must include:
(1) A description of all activities supported by the grant that have been undertaken since the grant period
start date, and
(2) Any grant supported activities planned for the remainder of the grant period (e.g., research, travel, or
other related activities).

TRANSLATION PROJECTS
As noted in the General Terms, grant activities for translation fellows should be consistent with those
approved for funding by the National Endowment for the Arts (Arts Endowment). If you need to make
changes to the project, you must email a change request with justification to the Office of Grants
Management at [email protected] before implementation. The Progress or Final Reports should not be used
for conveying and/or requesting approval for any changes. Approval is not guaranteed.

FINAL DESCRIPTIVE AND FINANCIAL REPORT - LITERATURE FELLOWSHIPS
All grantees are required to submit an acceptable Final Descriptive and Financial Report - Literature
Fellowships to the Office of Grants Management no later than 90 days after the grant end date. The report
form is available at https://www.arts.gov/sites/default/files/LIT-Fellows-FY18-Final-Descriptive-FinancialReport.pdf.
The narrative should provide information about the impact or benefit of this fellowship on your artistic
development. It should also include a brief description of work you accomplished with Arts Endowment
support during the grant period including major achievements, any significant problems encountered, and
information about any public readings or presentations, including locations, and publication plans. Please
limit your response to the area provided on the form.
The final report also certifies that the Arts Endowment funds have been used
for the purpose(s) for which the grant was awarded.

You will be ineligible for any future Arts Endowment grants if you fail to submit required and acceptable
Final Reports.
The Arts Endowment reserves the right to request additional information or work product(s) at any time.
As a reminder, all Federal awarding agencies retain a royalty-free right to use all or a portion of their grantees’
final report material for Federal purposes (e.g., the use of final report work products to document the results
of our grant programs), including placement on a Federal Web site. For more information see the General
Terms.

FUTURE PUBLICATION, AWARDS, AND OTHER HONORS
Each project develops its own history, often long after the Final Report has been submitted. New information
related to your project—future publication(s), reviews, awards and honors, other opportunities—is
appreciated by the ARTS ENDOWMENT. Our ability to document the effectiveness of our programs is
facilitated by the assistance we receive from our grantees. Contact the Literary Arts Program regarding how

information sent.
