SERCEB Progress Reports
As a requirement of our SERCEB award, we have to submit a Progress Report at the end of each year. It is time to begin preparing this report. To make this as painless as possible for everyone, we prepared customized templates of the appropriate 2590 forms for all funded investigators and e-mailed them out on September 10, 2009. If you did not receive yours, please contact Elaine immediately. Below are some general instructions and guidelines for completing these forms:
- Please go through each page of your custom 2590 forms and check that your information is correct; if not you may modify it.
- Complete sections that are not pre-completed, such as check boxes on face page and on research summary page.
- All of these 2590 forms are a new version (06/09) and must be used. Both the Biosketch and the Personnel Report forms have significant changes in them, so please pay careful attention to these pages and fill them out as requested.
- Budget page bottom lines cannot be changed, but line items may be redistributed as long as they add up to the bottom line. If you do this, you will need to change the budget justification.
- Make sure you fill out salary information for each person listed on your budget page.
- Instructions are in red. Please replace the red text with your own.
- Please return to Elaine by e-mail all forms in their original Word format, except for the Face Page, which once signed, can be sent as a PDF.
Deadlines:
Friday, October 16 for completed 2590 package.
Friday, November 20 for original signed face page and current Biosketch form. The paper original signed face page should be mailed or FedEx-ed, but you may send an electronic version via e-mail to Elaine.
If you have questions, both Elaine and Sandy are always eager to help.
Many thanks in advance for a timely return of your completed 2590 package!
