Warm congratulations on your grant! On this page, you will find useful information on topics such as grant payment and reporting. Please also see the Frequently Asked Questions.
Grant commitment and disbursement
The grant confirmation sent to the grant recipient by email contains the information required to complete the grant commitment in the grant system. A prerequisite for using an individual grant is a Finnish personal identity code and a SEPA bank account. For organisational grants, the organisation’s Business ID is used in both the grant commitment and the payment process. The grant will be considered cancelled if the payment has not been initiated within three years from the date of the grant confirmation email.
The grant commitment and the payment plan must be completed in the grant system by the 20th day of each month. The payment plan follows the grant period specified in the decision (4–12 months; research groups 12–36 months), and payments are made in line with the progress of the project.
We recommend preparing the payment plan for the entire grant period at the beginning of the project.
Grant reporting
Receiving a grant entails a reporting obligation, whereby the grant recipient must demonstrate that the grant has been used for the purpose specified in the application. The grant recipient must submit a report on the use of the grant in the grant system within three months after the end of the funding period. The reporting obligation also includes an interim report during the project if the grant period is interrupted, for example, due to parental leave or temporary paid employment.
