Research grants
Monitoring & Evaluation
Annual Reports
UCARE requires all grant holders of grants to complete and return an Annual Report Evaluation Form and where possible we ask you to provide an annual reconciliation of funds to ensure grants have been used for the purpose for which it was awarded and that costs meet the conditions of the grant. Grant holders are also expected to submit a annual report & final report (Word document).
The purpose of the Evaluation Form is to enable UCARE to gain a deeper understanding of the impact of its grant-making. If the grant was made for one year and you are applying for an extension or a grant for continuation for another year, please also complete this form and provide the additional information requested.
Completion of these forms is a requirement of UCARE in awarding a grant and can be seen in a copy of our Terms and Conditions of grants (Word document). Failure to submit an Evaluation Form may result in further grant payments being withheld.
