Instructions for Grant Reports
Please submit one report per project. If your report has multiple PIs working on it, you need to submit only one report. This report should not take a long time to compose, and for newly funded projects might actually be an edited version of the executive summary. For longer running projects, you will probably be able to update your last project report, adding any new information. Further, NSF needs you to provide the following information to show that NSF is fulfilling its goals under the GPRA Performance Plan Outcome goals. These goals are:
1. Discoveries at and across the frontier of science and engineering.
2. Connections between discoveries and their use in service to society.
3. A diverse, globally-oriented workforce of scientists and engineers.
4. Improved achievement in mathematics and science skills needed by
all
Americans.
5. Timely and relevant information on the national and international
science and engineering enterprise.
It is not expected that all projects contribute to all these goals; goal 5, for example, reflects the efforts of the Division of Science Resources Studies, and goal 4 is largely the function of the Education and Human Resources Directorate.
Further information on GPRA can be found at the web site
http://www.nsf.gov/od/gpra/start.htm
Please note that your report should be three (3) pages maximum, single-sided in a 10-point, "Times Roman" font when printed out. A sample template with further formatting instructions is available in HTML format and in MSWord 97 format.
One of the reasons we need to restrict the size, despite the heavy GRPA requirements, is that we will be printing and collecting all of the reports. At an estimated 100 reports, 3 pages each, meaning at least 300 pages, perhaps more.
For your reference, you may wish to examine the reports from the last year's IDM98 workshop at http://www.cs.columbia.edu/~klavans/Activities/98-IDM-Workshop/Proceedings.html
The reports provide a very rich useful source of information on the projects funded by the IDM program, and are accessed by other researchers, NSF and other agencies for planning and reporting purposes, as well as by students, industry, and the international community.
For any questions regarding these reports, please contact the IDM99 Proceedings Co-Editor Wesley W. Chu.
Deadline for report submission is February 1, 1999.
