Post-Award Obligations for Award Recipients

At the end of the award period, all CSWS fellowship and grant recipients are obligated to submit a report about your research progress and outcomes. The report is due by September 30 (three months from the end of the award period). Failure to submit final reports will result in ineligibility for future CSWS grants. (Note: Writing an article for the Annual Review does not fulfill this obligation, though your report may be adapted from an article.)

• End-of-year grant reporting form for grant recipients

Tracking the outcomes and impacts of CSWS funded research is very important to our mission. Notify CSWS about any conference presentations; academic, popular, or creative publications in any format; additional project grants and job opportunities; and any other outcomes that result from CSWS funded research. 

• Long-term grant outcomes form for grant recipients

In addition, grant recipients must acknowledge CSWS support in all presentations, publications, and promotional materials—including web publications and web sites, videos, and/or creative work—resulting from their grant.
