You can find the Final Progress Report form at NIH Grant Forms.

Subcontracts Q: How do I set up my subcontract payments, now that I have been funded? A: SPA Contract Administration now handles all aspects of subcontract processing from establishment of subcontract to distribution of purchase order. No-Cost Extensions Q: I have an NIH grant, how do I apply for my first no cost extension? A: Please refer to your NIH Notice of Grant Award for any restrictions. Typically NIH allows a one-time no cost extension. To request, please complete the SPA form for the no cost extension request (found on the SPA Internal Forms page) and email the form and current Income & Expense Statement to medrespost@case.edu Please provide at least two weeks prior to the end date of your program. Q: I have an NIH grant, how do I apply for my second no cost extension? A: Please note a second no cost extension request will require a letter written by the PI indicating the remaining funds to be utilized during the 2nd no cost extension, the budget for the 2nd no cost extension and discussion on why scientifically NIH should consider the 2nd no cost extension. This letter should be printed on the Department's letter head, signed by the PI and provided to your GCO. It will then be countersigned by the proper parties and provided to NIH for their consideration.
