Please Read Completely and Fully Understand These Instructions

1.  Complete this progress report for your quarterly PHEP deliverables. Report ONLY on this quarter's progress. Deliverables not due this quarter are not displayed except for those that may be completed at any point during the budget period.

2.  Refer to the written guidance provided to you at the beginning of the grant year (Attachment A) for instruction on completing each of the deliverable elements. A copy of this guidance is available on the PHEP Deliverables Resource (PDR) webpage. PHEP will inform you of any changes or adjustments in deliverable requirements or guidance during the year.  Please contact the subject matter expert for the appropriate section If you have questions. 

3.  If a field asks for a number, please use the numerical form. Do not use text.

4.  Required fields have a red asterisk. These fields must be completed or you will not be able to submit the form.

5.  You do not need to complete the form in one session, but rather work on it throughout the quarter or year. To save your work and come back to it later, scroll to the bottom and click "Save." If you do not, you will lose your information. DO NOT close your browser without performing this step. The form will display a unique link that will take you to your saved form. You may also choose to have it emailed to you. This link is the ONLY way to retrieve your form.

6.  You MUST log in to your saved report with your unique link EVERY 30 DAYS at a minimum to keep it active. Your form will be deleted from the server if you do not and you will have to start over.

Uploading Documents:  

NOTE:  Documents added to the form are not saved when you use the "Save" feature. You must upload required documents for deliverables as the last task before submitting the progress report. The documents will upload at that time.  

PLEASE start any file name for documents you submit with your jurisdiction’s name.

Attention: Combine files into one if there is only one upload field. We prefer PDF files, but can accept several types.

You will receive an email response to your submission with all of the information you provided.  However, we recommend saving the progress report to your computer as a PDF file before submitting it as a backup.
