Centers and Institutes Reporting and Resources Hub

In accordance with University of Alabama System Board Rule 503, all officially recognized centers and institutes at UAB are required to submit an annual progress report. This report is a critical component of institutional accountability and strategic planning.

The FY 26 report should:

• Summarize key activities, outcomes, and accomplishments from the FY 26 reporting period.
• Outline goals, initiatives, and planned activities for FY 27 (October 1, 2026 – September 30, 2027).
• Include completed expenditures and pilot grant reporting tables (see Supporting Documents below).

Please ensure all required fields are completed and character limits are observed. Do not upload supplemental materials outside the scope of the form, as they will not be reviewed.

To assist with your reporting and planning, we’ve compiled a suite of helpful resources:

• Progress Report User Guide (PDF)
• Progress Report Reviewer Guide (PDF)
• Expenditures & Pilot Grant Reporting Tables (Word)
• FY 26 Progress Report Worksheet (Word)

These resources are updated regularly to reflect current requirements and best practices.

If you’re considering establishing a new center or institute at UAB, you must submit advanced notification of your intent to the Office of Research at least 45 days prior to the funding submission deadline. This helps the university provide timely guidance and ensure alignment with institutional priorities.
