As described in the eRA Commons guide, “A Federal Financial Report (FFR) is a statement of expenditures associated with a grant. Recipients of federal funds are required to report the status of funds for grants or assistance agreements to the sponsor of the grant using the Federal Financial Report expenditure data. The FFR module allows grantees to electronically submit a statement of expenditures associated with their grant to the sponsor of the grant via the electronic Research Administration (eRA) Commons (Commons).”

The final financial report will be completed by the Grants Administrator assigned to your grant.  Prior to submission, the report will be reviewed and submitted by either the PostAward Supervisor or the Director of Grants and Contracts.
