After grantees submit their final reimbursement requests for the fiscal year by the December 1 deadline, the next step in the application cycle is to submit a closeout report in the Enterprise Grants Management System (EGMS). A closeout report must be approved before a grantee can apply for carryover funds. EGMS will not allow a grantee to submit a closeout report if it has any open reimbursement requests (including approved requests that have not yet been paid) for that grant.

Please reference the attached closeout guide for directions on how to check for reimbursement request status and for screen-by-screen instructions on how to check to ensure all reimbursement requests are closed and submit a closeout report in EGMS.

If you have questions about the grant closeout process, please contact your OSSE grant specialist.
