2003 GSA Research Grant Progress Report Form



GSA Research Grant Progress Report Form

Please fill in electronically, save as a Word Doc, and submit to: researchgrants@.

Reports are due by 1 February (the year after you received your grant).

Name: Year Granted:

GSA Member #: Grant amount: $

Specialized Awards:

Please list any special awards or recognition that GSA provided with your grant.

Contact Info Changes (Optional):

Please list any name or address changes (when possible, contact information changes should be sent to GSA before 1 December, so that GSA can have your IRS Form 1099 sent to the correct address between 1 January – 28 February).

Research Proposal Title:

Key Accomplishments:

Summarize the key accomplishments made using your GSA grant.

Geoscience Sub-discipline of Focus for Your Research:

Examples include paleontology, soil science, volcanology, etc.

Impact on Your Discipline:

Briefly describe how findings, results, techniques that were developed or extended, or other products resulting from your GSA-funded research made an impact or are likely to make an impact on the base of knowledge, theory, and research and/or pedagogical methods in your sub-discipline of geoscience.

Impact on Other Disciplines (Optional):

Briefly describe how the findings, results, or techniques that were developed or improved, or other projects from your GSA-funded research made an impact or are likely to make an impact on other disciplines.

Impact Beyond Science (Optional):

Briefly describe how the results of your GSA-funded research made an impact, or are likely to make an impact, beyond the bounds of science, engineering, and the academic world.

Other Impacts (Optional):

If applicable, briefly describe how the results of your GSA-funded research made an impact, or are likely to make an impact, on physical resources that form infrastructure (facilities, laboratories, instruments), institutional resources that form infrastructure, information resources that form infrastructure, technology transfer (commercial technology or public use), and/or other areas.

Training and Professional Development:

Briefly describe any opportunities for training and professional development that resulted from your GSA grant, for you or for other individuals.

Personal Statement:

Please share with GSA any personal thoughts or comments you may have regarding the receipt of a GSA research grant, and how it may have impacted your educational, career, and/or personal growth.

Expenditures to Date (Completed):

Provide a detailed itemization to show how you have spent GSA grant funds so far. Include approximate dates of expenditures. Ideally, all of your GSA funds should be spent by this time, and your expenditures should match the budget in your original proposal as closely as possible. GSA understands that small changes to cost and cost allocations may occur, and that is no problem. Receipts are not required.

Expenditures in Future (Anticipated):

Provide a detailed itemization to show how you expect to use remaining GSA grant funds. Include expected dates of expenditures. Remaining funds should be spent as soon as possible, preferably by the end of the current academic year. If you anticipate having difficulty spending all the funds, please contact GSA.

Changes/Problems/Challenges (Optional):

If your project had to undergo significant changes, or you ran into problems continuing with the project or using the funds, or simply had some basic challenges/obstacles along the course of your research, please describe them here. Please note that significant changes in how you intend to use the funds would need to be approved by GSA. For example, if you requested funds to run chemical analyses, but instead wish to use the funds for travel to a field site, that should be approved first by GSA. When in doubt, please contact GSA.

Presentation/Publication of Results:

Please list any conferences/journals in which the results of this research have been (or will be) presented/published. Please provide full details for each item in this list, such as the conference title, date, location, presentation title, presentation number, and abstract; or the journal title, volume, date, paper title, paper number, and abstract. If your results were presented in a venue other than a conference or journal, please provide that information as well. For publications, please indicate whether your paper is “in preparation”, “submitted”, “in review/revision”, “accepted”, or “published”.

Please attach copies of presentations/publications, if possible.

Products:

Please describe any products that resulted from your use of GSA grant funds. Products may include, but are not limited to: websites, audio recordings, video recordings, print materials, public presentations, PowerPoint presentations, poster presentations, news articles discussing your research, etc. Check out this video made by a 2018 grant recipient, as an example:

Please attach examples, if possible.

“Twitter” Summary (Optional):

Please write a very, very brief (no more than 280 characters, including spaces) summary of your research that GSA can post to its social media channels. For examples of concise descriptions of scientific research, see and .

Communicating Your Research:

If you are interested in sharing your work with a wider audience through GSA’s official guest blog, “Speaking of Geoscience”, please let us know. Here’s an example from a 2018 grant recipient: .

Photos and Photo Captions:

Please submit to GSA 1 to 5 photographs that show you engaged in your GSA-funded research. Photographs should be in color, high-resolution (3MB or higher), JPG or TIFF format, and include you, “in action!” Please avoid black and white photos, selfies, images of landscapes or rocks without people (you!) in them, and do not insert image files into PDFs or Word Docs (including this one). Provide captions for each photo in this section of the Progress Report form.

Submission of Files:

Please note that for any files you submit to GSA (including this report), Word Docs are preferable to PDFs when possible (this makes it easier for us if we want to cut and paste text from your file), and the filename should start with your last name. A useful filename format for GSA looks like this: Lastname_Firstname_DescriptionOfFile.DOC (or whatever appropriate file extension is needed). Files may be sent to GSA as e-mail attachments, provided that all of the attachments in one e-mail do not exceed 25MB total. Files can also be transferred via Google Drive.

Permission to Share:

GSA would love to share your research publicly, through social media (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube) and other venues. Do you give GSA permission to publicly share information submitted in this report, including your name, and attached products and photos? (Please indicate if there is specific information that should not be shared, because it is sensitive, under review, proprietary, etc.) Also, if you create your own social media posts about your GSA-funded research, please mention us with @geosociety or #GSAResearch, depending on the site. That will help us see your post and amplify it.

Thank you very much for completing this progress report!
