PROGRESS REPORTS AND RENEWAL
The progress report for year 1 should describe the main findings obtained. Reprints, preprints of manuscripts wherein MECC support is acknowledged are accepted as a progress report. Abstracts of presentations in national and/or international meetings, conferences, workshops are also accepted. An important issue to be included in the progress report relates to the mode of cooperation between the researchers. The progress report should be accompanied by a financial report, describing the use of funds in year 1, and authorized by the researcher's research authority or the institute's administration. When the principle investigators wish to extend the research for a second year, the first year's progress report (including the financial report) should be accompanied by an explicit request for renewal of the research for year 2. Such a request should include a description of the working plan for the second year of the research as well as a detailed budget request.
By the end of year 2, the progress report should summarize 2 years of activity. Any published material is accepted to that aim. If the findings have not been published the researchers should provide a detailed description of the results and findings. A financial report for year 2 should accompany the above progress report.
