Abstract: The annual progress reports for the Science and Technology Centers are necessary to allow the National Science Foundation to closely monitor its large investment into the six new centers. These centers are multi-instutitonal partnerships of scientists and educators and are funded at a level of up to four million dollars a year for up to ten years. The reports will be used during annual evaluations of each center's progress and making decisions about the next year's funding for the center. In addition, the reports will be used in evaluating the STC program as a whole and allowing effective management of the program.
