Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS)
FAPIIS is a federal database that has been established to track contractor misconduct and performance. It is intended to serve as a government-wide source of information about the prior performance of federal procurement contractors, grantees, and cooperative agreement holders. Reports (example: progress, annual, outcomes) must be submitted on time or will be subject to being reported to FAPIIS. NSF must report to FAPIIS if a grant report due to the sponsor is over 1 year old. Once reported to FAPIIS, the reporting is permanent and cannot be removed which affects the institution (IU) for future funding and the PI and co-PI on the project are reported.
