Re: Annual Performance Report (APR) and SF 425 Federal Financial Report (FFR) for your GAANN grant xxxx

Dear Project Director:

In accordance with Section 75.118 of the Education Department General Administrative Regulations (EDGAR) and Section 648.66 of the GAANN Program Regulations, recipients of a GAANN grant are required to submit an APR and FFR.

This email requests submission of the APR starting Day, Month Date, Year.

Please note that the deadline for submitting the APR is Day, Month Date, Year. 

The FFR, also called the SF 425, must be submitted annually to this office no later than 45 days after September 30, 2021. Please contact your institution’s grants and contracts office to remind them of this and for them to email the completed FFR to Ashley Hillary at Ashley.Hillary@ed.gov or to OPE_GAANN_Program@ed.gov.

For FY XXXX Grantees only: If you need a No-Cost Time extension you are required to submit an APR. However, if you will not need an extension you are not required to submit a performance report at this time, and you will receive additional information later.

Please be aware that failure to submit the Annual Performance Report or the SF 425 Federal Financial Report in a timely manner may jeopardize future funding for your grant and your institution.

If you have any questions, please contact Ashley Hillary or Rebecca Ell by e-mail at OPE_GAANN_Program@ed.gov.

Sincerely,

ReShone L. Moore, Ph.D.
