FINAL REPORT GUIDELINES
2002 TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER AWARDS
July 2002

Your CASI Technology Transfer award ends on August 31, 2002. The final report should be produced in a technical report format as described below. Because the final reports are published as CASI Technical Reports, it is important that these guidelines be followed.

The final report is due November 1, 2002, approximately 3 weeks after the Research Symposium and two months after the end of the grant period. It provides sufficient time for the report's clearance through the Collaborating Company as required under "Reporting Safeguards" in the Terms and Conditions. The Intellectual Property Disclosure Form (Attachment 1) must be attached to the Final Report at the time of submittal.

Body of the Report
The body of the report must be prepared as a single-sided manuscript in standard technical report format, page-numbered with Arabic numerals beginning with Page 1.
Please note the following:

1. Send an original, camera-ready document with artwork clear enough for good reproduction. Do not staple the document.
2. Format the pages for front-to-back reproduction with a 1 1/2" left-hand margin to allow for binding. Watch especially the placement of page numbers.
3. The report should not include source code listings but should indicate how code might be obtained.
4. The body of the report is not limited to but must include the following sections:
   • Objectives
   • Approach
     Note: If either objectives or approach changed, this must be clearly described with the reasons for such change. In case of a major change, the revised proposal (as approved by the CASI director) must accompany the report.
   • Results
   • Evaluation
   • Technology Transfer section that describes the technology exchange going in both directions between you and the Collaborating Company. A section written by the collaborating company must describe the technology transfer from their point of view.
   • Networking (conferences and other professional meetings) - include those attended and those expected to attend through June 30, 2001
   • Publications (list published, accepted and submitted papers)
   • Funding attributable to CASI support. Please report other proposals (title, funding source, and amount) related to the CASI project (a) under preparation; (b) under review; (c) submitted and declined for funding; and (d) submitted and awarded.
