The Alpha Foundation for the Improvement of Mine Safety and Health appreciates the investment of both time and expertise your team has made in pursuing the objectives outlined in your research proposal. This survey site has been designed to collect interim report data and achievement of deliverables detailed in the grant agreements signed by those organizations that received initial funding from the Foundation. This data will also be used as a benchmark to assess overall performance and justification for payment of continuation of the effort.

After proceeding through the initial questions to identify your project, you will be required to submit four sub-sections which will, in total, constitute your first semi-annual interim report.

Any questions regarding the submission of this data may be forwarded to [email protected].

The Foundation looks forward to reviewing your progress and to continued partnership with your research team.

Please provide the name of the Principle Investigator (Last, First)
   
 
 
 
Please provide the phone number of the Principle Investigator (number to which questions about the interim report should be directed).
   
 
 
 
Please provide the email address of the Principle Investigator (email address to which questions about the interim report should be addressed).
   
 
 
 
Project Summary: Provide a summary of objectives and research tasks that were planned and progress toward completion during this reporting period. This must be consistent with the awarded grant and/or proposal documentation. Each research task should be addressed in simple language that provides a clear indication of progress to someone who may not be a technical expert in this field.
   
 
 
 
Deviations and Corrective Actions: Provide a precise summary of deviations from the planned effort, why they occurred, and justification for why the new course or what corrective action is taken as a result of these deviations. Discuss the consequences and impact these deviations and corrective actions may have on completing the objectives of the research.
   
 
 
 
Expenditures: Document the expenditures as best as possible occurred during this reporting period. These should be addressed by research task and expressed both in terms of absolute dollars and percentage planned for the task. Justifications for over-expenditures greater than 10% of budgeted are required. Plans to complete the full scope of work within the remaining budget allocation should be clearly spelled out.
   
 
 
 
Deliverables, Significant Milestones, and Impact Summary: A list of deliverables and significant milestones that were achieved during the reporting period should be documented. These should be consistent with the awarded grant and/or proposal documentation and include publications; presentations; concept, technology, or model developments; significant test results, or completion of major laboratory or mine studies. The report should also clearly summarize the impact these have regarding the specific aims and achieving solution to issues addressed in the problem statement.
