7.  Start trying to use G5 now  Project Officers cannot see what you see in G5, so the tip sheets and the hotline are your best bets for extra help  If all else fails you can send your report by mail  Don’t panic – we will get through this…

8. We are using the same program measures that we used the last few years Your project performance measures can be changed, but you need to receive approval from your Project Officer first If you are asking for a no-cost extension you will need to send your Project Officer a continuation report If you received forward funding you cannot enter your continuation report into G5
