Cooperators and Participants recently requested a simplified and uniform format for MAP and FMD trip reports. In response to these requests and in line with FAS' streamlining initiative, FAS has developed the following format for MAP and FMD trip reports. Keep in mind that trip reports should be concise, yet include all relevant information with particular emphasis on conclusions and/or recommendations. |
|
New Trip Report Format | ||
NAME OF THE TRAVELER(S) | Specify the name, title, and home office location of the traveler(s). Several program participants traveling collectively for the same trip may submit a single trip report. Be sure to include all travelers recommendations and findings when consolidating a report. | |
PURPOSE OF THE TRAVEL | Provide a brief summary of the purpose/goal(s) of the trip. Include the name and activity number/code of the trip funded under the MAP or FMD program. | |
DATES OF TRAVEL | Summarize the itinerary | |
SUMMARY OF FINDINGS/CONCLUSIONS | Provide a summary of findings and conclusions. This should include an overview of the current market situation. It is not necessary to provide a day-by-day summary unless there is something significant to note. | |

NAMES OF CONTACTS | Provide a list of contacts made. | |
