Reporting Requirements
Annual Progress Report:
An annual progress report is required for each project funded by the WERC. The report format can be found here. Please include any additional information such as journal and magazine articles, workshop brochures, study findings and reports, or information sheets as attachments.
Final Reports:
For projects funded in Federal fiscal year 2009 and beyond, a two-part final report is required. The components are:
1. Final Report Summary—summary of project accomplishments by goal/obective here.
2. Final Accomplishment Report—more detailed report including project overview, goals & objectives, literature review (if appropriate), methodology, results/discussion/findings, summary/conclusion/recommendations, and photographs (if appropriate) here.
Since these reports will be available to the public on the WERC web site at Project Information and Final Reports, the report templates meet the formatting requirements for Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act. We are striving to have these reports in a format that are handicap accessible. Electronic submittals are sufficient.
The following two items are required on final reports, publications, CDs, DVDs, and software that result from WERC grant activities.
- The work upon which this (publication/CD/DVD/software) is based was funded in whole or in part through a grant awarded by the Wood Education and Resource Center, Northeastern Area State and Private Forestry, Forest Service, U.S. Department of Agriculture.
- In accordance with Federal law and U.S. Department of Agriculture policy, this institution is prohibited from discriminating on the basis of race, color, national origin, sex, age, or disability.
