There are no changes to the data elements or FPAR tables for 2025 FPAR (submission in 2026).
Below is a summary of updates to the FPAR 2.0 Implementation Guide (September 2025):

Technical Assistance
OPA and its contractors will provide comprehensive technical assistance (TA) using a collaborative and coordinated approach to help grant recipients transition to the new FPAR 2.0 data system. These activities include group and individualized technical assistance to end users of the system via formal trainings, written materials, and other documentation. TA materials and assistance are available to grant recipients, subrecipients, and EHR vendors. Note, only grant recipients will have access to submit data, so we encourage ongoing coordination between grant recipients and their partners.
