The fields cover recipient profile information, projects, subrecipient subawards, expenditures, demographics, and the performance and financial report. Narrative fields such as the Project Description and the Performance Narrative allow up to 12,000 characters, and the Participant Household Payment Data field refers to a bulk upload file described in the User Guide for Treasury's Portal for Recipient Reporting.
