The quarterly PPR is due 30 days after the close of the reporting period. AHSSD will use the ACF Standard PPR Form to track your progress every quarter. We will supply you with guidance about more specific information that we would like to learn through the report.

What is the quarterly PPR?

The quarterly project performance report (PPR) is a narrative report completed by grant recipients to update the program office on the progress of the grant project.

Your program specialist will use the quarterly PPR to provide you specialized training and technical assistance. The office will also use the information to learn about your program’s implementation and outcomes for research and evaluation, to develop technical assistance, and for other reporting.
