III. Research Plan

A.) Specific aims and expected outcomes
State concisely the goals of the proposed research and summarize the expected outcomes.

B.) Background and preliminary studies
Identify existing knowledge and how the project will supplement that knowledge without duplication. Explain the significance of the project’s potential impact. Discuss any preliminary studies.

C.) Detailed outline and discussion of specific procedures and methodology

V. Progress Reports

Grant recipients must submit an interim progress report six months after beginning the project and a final report within one month of project completion. Failure to provide the required progress reports may have a negative impact on future grant applications.

The interim report must include:

A.) A description of progress relative to original research objectives

B.) A list of resulting publications if any. Include abstracts as well as related oral presentations

C.) Any problems and/or delays encountered

D.) An overview of expenditures made to date

E.) A summary of results

The final report must include:

A.) A description of progress relative to original research objectives, and details regarding any deviation from those objectives

B.) A summary of results
