This report should cover an overview of the achievements of the project in relation to the goals and objectives of the approved proposal, results obtained, problems or difficulties encountered, and deviations from the original objectives or research plan and describe desired next steps. Accomplishments include both work products, such as publications, reports, presentations, research methods, databases, patents, and licensing agreements, and outcomes, such as reductions in production costs or improvements in healthcare delivery.
