Ugh, it's been one of those days.
While checking my work e-mail address this morning, I saw an e-mail with a grant I recently applied for as the subject. Hoping to read the results of my application, I opened it. Unfortunately, what I found was an e-mail telling me that I apparently still needed to submit a "funding report" from when I received the grant last year. If it was not received, I would not be able to collect any money I was awarded this year.
This came as something of a surprise to me, as I thought I had completed all terms of the grant, even giving a presentation on my work. I asked two other people who had gotten the grant last year, and they knew nothing of a "funding report."
An e-mail from the person in charge of the grant program clarified things. Apparently, they want a description of the research, an itemized budget, and so forth. It would have been nice if they had informed me of my omission less than a year after the fact. It'll be a pain in the neck to compile the info now.
