An interim progress report is due to the NESS Scholars Foundation by May 31, 2020, so that second-year funding of 10,000 USD may be approved and provided in July 2020. Assuming approval of second-year funding, it is expected that the activities associated with the award will be completed by June 30, 2021, and that the awardee will both provide a final written report by July 31, 2021, and present an oral report at the time of the 2021 Annual Meeting of the NESS, September 23 - 25, 2021, at Foxwoods in Mashantucket, Connecticut.
