Final Research Report

The final report format should follow a research report in a peer-reviewed journal. We are aware that not all research produces the anticipated outcome. If your research gave unexpected results, report the outcome and suggest how the research might be restructured in the future to produce meaningful results. All recipients of research funding are required to submit a report regardless of the outcome of the studies.
