The grant recipient must submit a grant usage report to the Foundation for Economic Education without delay after the end of the grant period. The report must be completed in the grant system, and it must be prepared by the designated grant recipient. The instructions and system link are the same as for the payment request. If a dissertation or other research publication has a permanent online link, please include it in the report.
As a rule, the usage report is public information on projects supported by the Foundation. It is considered good practice to acknowledge the Foundation as the funder, for example in the opening words of a publication and in other outputs related to the project.
We also welcome printed doctoral dissertations. They may be sent to our office at the following address:
Foundation for Economic Education
Museokatu 8 A 1
00100 Helsinki
Purpose of Reporting
The objectives of reporting on awarded grants are:
(1) To make sure that the grant recipient uses the grant for the purpose mentioned in his/her application. This is important for the Foundation for Economic Education’s decision making, as well as for ensuring the fair treatment of other grant applicants.
(2) To collect summaries of reports that interest the Foundation’s stakeholders to show that economic education is worth investing in.
(3) To get publications completed with our funding to the Foundation for Economic Education’s library when they are still recent but already in their finalized form.
(4) To time the grant payments according to need.
The primary purpose of the report is to describe what has been achieved with the grant. If the recipient has been on leave of absence from employment or studies during the grant period, this must be indicated in the report. The report must also include the total project costs; however, supporting receipts are not required.
If it is not possible to submit the usage report due to unexpected changes in the schedule or delays in project completion, an interim report on the progress or continuation of the work must be submitted within three months of the most recent payment instalment.
