There are several ways that you will need to report and document the impact and effectiveness of your project to NSF 13

The annual reporting cycle Management Information System (MIS) typically opens mid November Highlights typically early-mid February NSF annual report 90 days before award anniversary date Notifications and requests Crediting NSF 15
Four Types of Reports submitted via Research.gov Annual Project Reports Due 90 days before the anniversary of your award Overdue MSP annual reports will affect timely funding of awards in other NSF programs (in other directorates, as well as in EHR) Later on, your CGI will depend on approval of the annual report

An annual opportunity to share your perspectives, activities, outcomes (photos, newspaper clippings, TV, radio, campus news, etc.) Each year NSF collects and selects samples of these, foundation-wide NSF staff draw on these in their interactions with various (important!) constituencies may be used: To inform other agencies (DOE MSP, for example), Congress, taxpayers about NSF-funded activities In developing Congressional testimony and speeches By OLPA in developing Discovery postings on the NSF website.
