Welcome


For projects that stopped earlier than defined in the grant agreement, without any results and without any eligible costs, the beneficiary can start the  Termination no grant procedure, at any time, from the Reports section of the project in Beneficiary module, while the project is in status Project ongoing.

When generating the report, the beneficiary is informed of the fact that all grants currently available in the project, if any, will be set to zero, and the activities will no longer be visible, regardless of the information provided in the project, and must acknowledge this notification. As a result, the Reported budget of the project is set to 0 EUR. The report is generated and can be filled in and submitted from Beneficiary module.

This page explains how the termination with no grant report can be generated, filled in and submitted by the beneficiary. For general information, see Termination no grant report in Beneficiary module

Before you start filling the report, please familiarise yourself with the basic report functionalities explained on page Basic functionalities in report forms in beneficiary projects

What happens next?


NA checks and accepts the report

When the report is submitted to the NAs project management system, the NA checks the report and will, if all is in order, accept it.

After the NA finalises the project in their system, the Reported (Submitted) and NA Validated (Submitted) project versions for the project become available and can be viewed. The report status changes to Accepted, and the project status changes to Terminated no grant. The project remains locked and is finalised. 


NA checks and rejects the report

When the report is submitted to the NAs project management system, the NA checks the report and will, if required, reject it. An email notification is sent to the beneficiary, informing them of the report rejection.

The project status changes to Project ongoing and the project is unlocked for editing in Beneficiary module. All activities, such as mobility activities, participations, group activities, complementary activities, preparatory visits etc. will be restored and they will contain the same information as available in the project before the termination no grant report was submitted, if any. The report status changes to Rejected.
