Grant Reports
As
part of the IDM03 workshop, we request you to submit a grant
report.
Grant
Reports will be compiled into hardcopy (and web-based) workshop proceedings.
Our hope is that the NSF IDM program director will be able to translate
these recommendations into actions.
Instructions for Grant Reports
New templates are available, in both HTML format
and XML format. The new templates provide a
structure for including URLs and descriptions of representative images, video
clips, demos, etc. The pointers or the objects pointed to should include a short
description of the object and what research result it demonstrates
Here is an example of a report prepared for this year's workshop.
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 XML 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 140 reports, 3 pages each, meaning at least 300 pages, perhaps more.
For those of you who wish to use the XML template, here are some XML editors that are freely available, or which offer a limited free trial.
For your reference, you may wish to examine the reports from the last year's IDM 2002 workshop at http://athena.csee.umbc.edu:9080/IDM02, the IDM 2001 workshop at http://itlab.uta.edu/idm01, the IDM 2000 workshop at http://boston.cwru.edu/idm00, the IDM99 workshop at http://www.cs.ucla.edu/csd/IDM99/report_template.htm, or from the IDM98 workshop at http://www.cs.pitt.edu/~panos/idm98/Proceedings/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 IDM 2003 Proceedings Editors at (nsf2003@cs.washington.edu).
Deadline for
grant report submission is August 15, 2003.
Printed and
Electronic Grant Report Submission Form
Grant report URL’s should
be submitted electronically (PLEASE
CLICK HERE for electronic submission)
and
in printed form,
to:
IDM 2003
Computer Science and Engineering
University of Washington
114 Sieg Hall
Seattle, WA 98195-2350.
Both the electronic and hard copy reports must be received by
August 15.
During the group breakout session, be prepared to give a five-minute summary of your research efforts and results. To assist in this summary,
bring two slides that show the highlights of your projects.
