Gee, life during the pandemic has been so disorienting that I can hardly believe a year has passed since April 1! 😊

Hi NSF Scope L2 managers,

 

The first “annual” (April 1, 2020 – Sept 30, 2020) report to the NSF is due in draft form to NSF by Sept 22. I would like about a week to compile your report information before sending the draft, so I would like to get your report before COB September 15.

 

The nature of this Annual Report is different from the typical monthly report and in fact will take the place of the September report. So please work with your Institutional Contacts to provide a narrative for your L2 subsystem that includes:

 

• 1-2 pages at most of narrative
• Your narrative needs to include
  • a summary of work accomplished during the reporting period (4/1/20-9/30/20), including major scientific and technical accomplishments by subawardees for your NSF scope. (Do not worry about the financial information as I will compile that from our records).
  • a brief overview of the accomplishments and plans of the international ATLAS program for your subsystem.
  • a recommendation for any materials and tooling to be retained to support future operation of the detector, and recommendations for custodianship of these items – I suspect there isn’t a lot on this item for this first report because there probably isn’t much in the way of materials and tooling (maybe some test stands?). But if there is, please include that and I will compile it into a table once I have them all.

 

Thanks, Mike for the PO

 

 

 

From our NSF MREFC Cooperative Agreement Terms and Conditions:

Annual reports

  1) The Annual Report may be submitted in place of its corresponding monthly financial and status report, but must include the current monthly status information listed above.

  2) Annual Reports must also include a summary of work accomplished during the reporting period (i.e. the prior 12 months), including major scientific and technical accomplishments by subawardees and an accounting of financial expenditures and obligations.

  3) Each Annual Report must provide a brief overview of the accomplishments and plans of the international ATLAS program and the efforts of CERN and partners to upgrade the LHC, including any adjustments or plans under consideration that might impact the NSF-funded scope, schedule, or budget for this award.

  4) Annual Reports must recommend materials and tooling to be retained to support future operation of the detector, and recommendations for custodianship of these items.

  6) Annual reports must be submitted to NSF via NSF's electronic systems no later than:

• October 1, 2020 (a report covering only the period from April 1 – September 30, 2020)
• October 1, 2021
• Annually, thereafter
