Outputs and Reporting

Critical for continuation of FBIP that grant recipients:

  • Deliver outputs specified in their proposals and in the proposed

timeframes

  • Comply with data standards

NB: Outstanding data will disqualify grant holders for future grants

Efficient reporting process:

  • Submit NRF progress reports
  • Provide updates to FBIP

Comprehensive reporting is strategically important:

  • DST and NRF to evaluate the FBIP’s success in relation to its

funding

  • To drive/inform FBIP priorities
