In grant closeout, which of the following is typically completed?

• A. Final reporting.
• B. Drafting new procurement requests.
• C. Creating a new budget for next year.
• D. Hiring new staff.

Answer: (A)

Final reporting is the key activity at grant closeout because it provides the formal record of what was achieved and how funds were used. This includes submitting the final financial statements, reconciling expenditures, and delivering the required programmatic and financial narrative to the funder, ensuring compliance with award terms and closing the award in the funder’s system. Activities like drafting new procurement requests or creating a budget for next year are part of ongoing planning and future work, not the completion of the current grant. Hiring new staff is tied to program implementation and staffing during the grant period, not to the closeout process.
