Report Preparation 

The Foundation publishes a final edited report and other deliverables for research projects.  Researchers should allocate adequate resources and personnel for developing a final report that is technically sound and adheres to the Foundation's Guidelines for Preparing Research Reports. The guidelines establish formats and other publishing requirements.  Researchers should be prepared to review the edited report, answer editors' questions, and make changes to text, tables, and figures as necessary.
