Information for Current Grant Recipients

FINAL REPORTING REQUIREMENTS FOR ONE YEAR AND TWO YEAR GRANTS
Within six months of the termination of the funded project or at the time of application for another
FRC grant, whichever comes first, the researcher is expected to submit a final report, not to exceed
five pages, using the outline below.  An acceptable final report must be on file before the researcher
applies for another FRC grant.

I.  Financial report.  Were all the awarded funds spent?  If not, why not?  (Changes in the budget
needed previous approval and justification for those changes need not be repeated here.)

II.  Information gathered.  Was the unprocessed information (or data) gathered as planned?  What
short falls were there and why did they occur?  Does the researcher have feasible plans to gather
missing information?  What unanticipated, extra information was gathered?

III.  Information processing/ achievement of specific objectives.  State in a clear manner what the
researcher added to the present fund of knowledge in the general area into which this project fits.
What publications are in preparation, have been submitted, have been accepted for publication, or
have been published?  What papers have been (or will be) delivered at meetings (give time, place,
and name of sponsoring organization)?  What other tangible outcomes are available that verify the
achievement of the research goal?

IV.  Student involvement. How many students were involved and how were they involved?  In what
way did they benefit from that involvement.

V.  Anticipated follow-up work.  What new projects or extensions of this project does the researcher
anticipate doing, if any?  Will new funds be applied for to continue that work, from FRC or from
outside sources?
