Department of Energy Reporting

It is the responsibility of the PI to become familiar with the reporting requirements established in the awards Federal Assistance Reporting Checklist and Instructions. 

This reporting checklist is an example of the reporting terms you might see in your DOE award:

DOE F 4600.2 03/2017 Federal Assistance Reporting Checklist and Instructions 

Please check your award to verify reporting frequency, content, and other requirements. Depending on your reporting terms, you will likely be asked to use several different systems for reporting functions. 

New award setups in eAward should contain the full award document and not just the the Assistance Agreement. If you are missing your reporting requirements or any other documentation, please login to FedConnect and download the documentation. 

FedConnect

Accounts are created by the PI and approved by OSP. If you need to create a FedConnect account, see the instructions in Electronic Submission & Registration.
 
Once you have an active account, the PI and OSP are able to view and submit a "response" for awards. Please follow the steps below:
 
  1. Log into FedConnect with your User ID and password. 
  2. Click on the "Awards" tab (at the top of the screen). 
  3. Using the search criteria drop-down menu, select "Award Number" as your criteria. 
  4. Type in the award number and click on the “Search” button. 
  5. Once the award is displayed, click on the title to open the award. 
  6. If you haven’t already done so, join the Award Team by clicking the "Join Team" button (bottom right-hand side). 
 
Once you have joined the Award Team, you will be able to create and send a message to the agency. 
  1. Within the award, use the Message Center in the middle of the page. 
  2. Click "New Message" to create a message. 
  3. Compose your message and click "Send". Please note that you may also send attachments by using the "Attach File" button. This is the function that will allow you to submit attachments.
There is also a FedConnect: Ready, Set, Go! Tutorial found on the FedConnect homepage that has more information about award and modification notifications and management, opportunity search, pre-applications, and message center.
