- The final profit and loss account will be uploaded to the project annexes in GRIS by the project economist after closing the project accounts and booking the transfer to the FÚUP.
- After checking, you will be requested to generate a final PDF (please don't close earlier) which you will send to our internal address gacr@sci.muni.cz. The PDF must not be renamed, this would cause a certificate error.
- If you make any changes in the report after checking it, please let us know.
- Even investigators in the role of partner must have their part of the report checked before submission to the Principal investigator. If you have a deadline from the Principal Investigator for completing your report, please inform us about this deadline. Usually everyone requests the report completed earlier than we do.
- If we are the Principal Investigator and you have a partner organization in the project, please inform them of the above deadline for notification of any returns and ask them to complete their part of the progress report by Monday 13 January 2025 (for final reports and progress report of EXPRO projects by Friday 31 January 2025).
- If you need to complete the report earlier for serious reasons (e.g. going abroad without internet access, returning from abroad, serious family or health reasons...) please inform us in advance.
Information for progress reports:
- For the first year of the project, only the management of funds and a list of publication outputs are reported in the progress report. A detailed report on the progress of the three-year project is submitted after the second year of the project. In the first year report, a detailed report on the progress would be reported only if there is a significant change from the original project plan.
- For projects starting in 2024, a link to the beneficiary's existing Gender equality plan must be included in the progress report if it has not been included in the project proposal. There are financial penalties for failure to comply with this obligation. The Gender equality plan can be found here: CZ version, EN version. In GRIS, it is filled in on the tab with the name of the investigator in the "Supplement data" section.
- For projects starting in 2024 a Data Management Plan must be included in the annexes of the progress report. There are financial penalties for failure to comply with this obligation.
Information for final reports:
- According to the tender documents, only the financial part of the report is submitted in January after the end of the project. The scientific part of the report and the project outputs are submitted one year later in January 2025 (this option is predefined in GRIS under the "Overall management" tab). In this case, it is not necessary to fill in the final report now. If you want to submit a complete report with all outputs immediately, select the option "I request an evaluation" and fill in all required information. The third option is to request a postponement of the evaluation for another six months (until July 2025).
Justification for multiple dedications
In case that in the published results of GACR projects there is a thanking to other projects of the GACR, the publication cannot be accepted as a project result unless these multiple dedications to other projects are sufficiently justified in the progress or final report. The justification of multiple dedications must explain which author is thanking which project, the contribution of each project to the publication output of the GACR project and the share of the work done by each project in the dedication.
The procedure for completing the report is available directly on the GACR website:
