Question

Sometimes you may omit some information or just simply make a mistake. This can sometimes happen if the deadline is quickly approaching and you need to complete and submit a grant report. How would you attempt to correct information provided to the granting agency as part of a required repost, after you have already submitted it?

Answer 1

The appropriate method to provide correct information once it has been posted once is to fully disclose the error and author a corrigendum report. This corrigendum report would address the error occurred and also revise all the erroneous information and details and post correct information. This needs to be done quickly and with full transparency to ensure that the grant agency does not lose trust on the information provided and continues to have full faith on the information and disclosures provided by the organization.
