Legacy Award recipients are expected to submit regular reports summarizing grant-related activities. At the conclusion of each quarter, programs should submit quarterly reports describing the work completed during the most recent quarter as part of the grant.

As each urban program will be implementing a somewhat different approach to addressing diabetes and cardiovascular disease risk, the Legacy Awardees’ quarterly reports will include somewhat different information. This document lists the types of information that should be included in quarterly reports. We recognize, however, that not all information will be relevant or available for each program.

Please describe grant-related activities completed during the reporting period. For questions that are not relevant to the activities your program is implementing, please enter “NA” for “not applicable.” Please submit progress reports electronically to Tim Noe (). For questions about progress reporting, please contact Tim by email or phone (303-724-1446).
