Research Project Expectations
Each faculty member with 20% or greater research appointment must have a Project
Each faculty member must report annually research progress, impact, and publications via CRIS (AD-421)
Reporting tips: Research problem What did you discover If possible, quantifiable impacts Appropriate research publications
1998 Agricultural Research, Extension and Education Reform Act (AREERA)
State Plan of Work approved by CSREES before Federal formula funds are released to each state
Faculty must complete an annual “Impact Statement” on their research and/or Extension activities
ARP must file an annual POW report on integrated research and Extension accomplishments which is based, in part, on the faculty “Impact Statements”
Report includes data on multi-state and multi-institution collaboration
