Based upon the status of your project in the CRIS system, either an annual

please select the appropriate report:

Annual: the termination date has not passed and the project was

Final: the termination date has passed and the project will

The outputs narrative should follow the guidelines for developing
the annual report.
The final report narrative is a brief summary of accomplishments
for the entire life of the project.
CRIS strictly limits the narrative to 3200 characters, and cannot accept
any characters not found on your keyboard. Do not include tabs, blank lines,
or formatted text. Do not use degree symbols, math symbols, Greek letters,
italics, boldface, super- or sub-scripts, or underlines. Please substitute
suitable words and alternate characters. If you have copied/pasted text
from your word processor and are getting an error message when saving your
report , try saving the file as a text file first, then copy the text.
