Financial reporting of grants to research infrastructure

The financial report shall be signed by an authorised representative of the administrating organisation.

Grant to research infrastructure of national interest

Please submit a financial report for the previous operating year no later than 31 March, or alternatively the date shown in the specific terms and conditions or grant decision for the grant. An authorised representative of the administrating organisation shall sign the form. Further instructions are available in the template.

Please use the template below for the annual report. A final financial report of the grant shall also be submitted, using the same template.

Template for financial reporting of infrastructure grants (in Swedish only) Excel, 117.2 kB.

Please send the report by email to aterrappinfra@vr.se (further instructions can be found in the template).

If the grant decision was made before 2019, the verification lists mentioned above in the template do not need to be submitted. In this case, report only Tab 1 and Tab 3, with accompanying invoice copies.

Grant for investment in research infrastructure

Reported as per above. See your specific terms and conditions for the timimg of the report on funding awarded for scientific equipment, bought-in services, installation, and adaptation of premises.

Grant for making infrastructure accessible

The financial report shall be submitted once every year via Prisma.

An authorised representative of your administrating organisation (usually an accountant) shall complete the information and register the financial report. The report is then sent to the project leader responsible for checking before being sent to the Swedish Research Council. We assume that the person submitting the financial report is authorised to represent the administrating organisation for these purposes.

The representative of the administrating organisation and the project leader will receive an email via Prisma when the reporting period starts. Please note that the person representing the administrating organisation needs to be linked to the grant in Prisma – if not, please contact the administrating organisation’s account manager.

The deadline for annual reporting is shown in the document “Approval of terms and conditions”. 31 March is the date applicable for most grants.

Note: If there are any unused funds at the final reporting occasion in conjunction with the end of the availability period, these shall be repaid to the Swedish Research Council if the amount exceeds one half of a price base amount. Payment shall be made to bank giro No 5052-2663. Please state the registration number for the grant, and that the payment relates to unused funds.

If the unused funds are less than one half of a price base amount, the funds may be retained on condition that they can be used for research purposes similar to that of the grant – otherwise the funds must be repaid as per above.

When you have submitted a final financial report, you must repay any unused funds to the Swedish Research Council. No requisition or invoice will be sent, instead you can make the payment using the report as documentation. The amount repaid must correspond to the amount to repay stated in the financial report, and be rounded off to the nearest whole krona (SEK) amount.

If, in conjunction with the repayment, you discover an error in the reporting that impacts on the amount to repay, then please email us as soon as possible, so that we can return the report to you for supplement.
