Provide a succinct written update in your progress report for each milestone/task.

   4. Submit your updated milestone chart worksheet with your completed progress report to Grants Online.

2. Outputs are products (e.g., publications, models) or activities that lead to outcomes. Outcomes are changes in user knowledge or action. Briefly describe project outputs under each of the following categories that were completed in this reporting period:

1. Key scientific findings.

2. New methods, technologies, or advanced tools (e.g., models, biomarkers).

3. Publications, including peer-reviewed journal articles, book chapters, NOAA Technical Memoranda, conference proceedings, etc. For each, list full citations including digital object identifiers (DOI) and append a copy to your report (for open access publications, attach the published PDF; for copyrighted publications, attach a pre-published PDF and the published PDF).

Resource management can take many forms including wildlife and fishery management, federal and state rulemaking and permitting, conservation practices by private landowners, place-based management, and restoration planning.

1. Summarize end user interactions (e.g., we shared something) and management applications (e.g., they did something with what we shared) that took place during this reporting period by answering the questions and populating the table below (add rows as necessary). Include end users in the table with whom you had regular, sustained interactions or a single significant interaction and then in prose answer the following two questions for each end user:

   1. What was shared (e.g., knowledge, findings, products, training, methods, technology, etc.) and with whom?

   2. Was it used? If so, how (e.g., management action, decision-making, strategic planning, issuance of regulations, policy-changes, public outreach, etc.)?

End User Name	Organization	Email Address

3. Primary accomplishments: Provide a short narrative of the KEY project accomplishment(s) in this reporting period (100 words or less)

3. Financial Updates

1. Describe expenditures scheduled and actual expenditures this period and explain differences between them, if any.

2. Describe leveraged funding. Leveraged funding may be in the form of dollars or in-kind contributions to which a dollar value can be readily assigned, such as salary or use of equipment or a facility.
