FINAL REPORT

Tri Beta Research Scholarship Foundation

Policy Change approved by the Tri Beta Executive Council, Jan. 24th, 2003: REVISED

Beginning this year, 2003, a "Final Report" will no longer be required from recipients of the undergraduate "Tri Beta Research Scholarship Foundation Grants" if the research is abstracted and presented, with funding acknowledgement, at a Tri Beta District/ Regional Convention and/or National Convention.  To be exempt from the final report the funded research must be abstracted, according to the BIOS format, and presented orally or as a poster.  The abstract must be submitted to the Convention Coordinators for documentation and program listing.  The District Directors/Regional Vice Presidents will forward these abstracts to the editor of BIOS for inclusion in the convention news section. 

If the grant recipient is unable to present their research at a Tri Beta convention the student may submit a written request seeking permission from their Regional Vice President to present their research at an alternate scientific meeting considered appropriate for undergraduate research.   If the Regional Vice President grants this request the research to be presented must be abstracted, according to the BIOS format.   Copies of the abstract and the meetings program, including a listing of the student's paper, must be forwarded to their Regional Vice President.  The Vice President should then forward this information to the editor of BIOS.

In the event a student is unable to maker a formal presentation of their research at a Tri Beta convention or an alternate approved meeting then a FINAL REPORT is still required.  This FINAL REPORT should be prepared in a manuscript form suitable for BIOS publication following the "Instruction to Authors" style in BIOS.   Copies of this FINAL REPORT must be submitted to the Regional Vice President.

I have read and agree to comply with all specifications of funding as outlined in this application.
