Application Guidelines: Appendix II

Special Award Conditions

1. Prior to initiating the project, the Fellow will contact the Research Coordinator or Reserve Manager to coordinate all on-site aspects of the project, including, where applicable, the location and establishment of sampling sites, projected field sampling dates, accommodation reservations, and the need and timing for personnel assistance.

2. As outlined in the program’s guidelines, Fellows will be expected to participate in the Reserve's research and monitoring program, stewardship, education, or coastal training program for up to a maximum of 15 hours per week. The work plan should be devised cooperatively with the Reserve's Research Coordinator and relevant to the student's research. Fellows are responsible for meeting with Reserve staff to coordinate this work plan. Information about this component of the fellowship must be included in the semi-annual progress reports.

3. Semi-annual performance reports shall be submitted 30 days after the completion of every six month period after the project start date and a final performance report shall be submitted 90 days after the project period ending date via NOAA's Grants Online System at https://grantsonline.rdc.noaa.gov. Reports need to follow format and guidelines provided at http://www.nerrs.noaa.gov/GRFDefault.aspx?ID=327

Fellows must also submit progress reports and their final report via email to their advisor and the Research Coordinator at their host Reserve.

4. Any final report, thesis, dissertation, or database developed under this award will be provided electronically as a pdf, other digital format, or transferred to a CD/DVD free of charge to the applicable National Estuarine Research Reserve and NOAA's Estuarine Reserves Division.

5. Manuscripts resulting from NOAA/OCRM-sponsored research that are submitted to refereed scientific journals for publication in open literature shall acknowledge that the research was conducted in the National Estuarine Reserve System under an award from the Estuarine Reserves Division, Office of Ocean and Coastal Resource Management, National Ocean Service, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
