Benefits of Electronic Submission
HRSA EHBs provides a “one-stop shop” for grant-related post award submissions– Progress Reports– Other Submissions required on the Notice of Grant Award
Monitor schedules feature allows users to see upcoming reports or other required submissions
Users registered to the grant handbook can access previously submitted reports HRSA EHBs maintain an action history to provide an audit trail of all actions
performed on a report HRSA EHBs and the HCOF Progress Reporting Module contain validation checks
to ensure that all data is complete before it is submitted to HRSA Electronic submission streamlines the communication between grantees and HRSA by
implementing automated notifications and reporting workflow EHBs generate report tracking numbers to facilitate monitoring of report status and
allow grantees to view the status of their reports online
