VII. Reporting Requirements and Annual Evaluation

A noncompeting continuation application should be submitted on the PHS 2590 form. Each project should submit a complete PHS 2590 form, and the forms from all projects should be submitted as a single packet.

Annual progress reports, submitted as part of the annual, noncompeting, renewal application, are used by NCCAM to review the progress of the CERC. These reports serve to verify, in detail, the achievements of the objectives outlined in the initial application. The NCCAM staff may, as necessary, assemble consultants to review the progress of the CERC or to discuss major changes that may require budget adjustments and/or review by the National Advisory Council for Complementary and Alternative Medicine.
