and submit this form.
    (1) Appointment Information shall be submitted to HEP within 3 
months of appointment of a Fellow;

international study or thesis/dissertation research allowance and/or 
institutional adherence to program guidelines.
    (3) Exit Information shall be completed and submitted to HEP by the 
Project Director for each Fellow supported by a grant as soon as a 
Fellow either: Graduates; is officially terminated from the Fellowship 
or the academic program due to unsatisfactory academic progress; or 
voluntarily withdraws from the Fellowship or the academic program. If a 
Fellow has not completed all degree requirements at the end of the five-
year grant duration, HEP may request a preliminary exit report. In such 
a case, a final exit report shall be required at a later date. When a 
final exit report for each Fellow supported by a grant has been accepted 
by HEP, the grantee will have satisfied the requirement of a final 
performance report for the grant. Additional follow-up reports to track 
Fellows' career patterns may be requested.
    (b) All grantees (supplemental international, graduate, and 
postdoctoral) shall submit initial project information and annual and 
summary reports to CSREES' Current Research Information System (CRIS). 
The CRIS database contains narrative project information, progress/
impact statements, and final technical reports that are made available 
to the public. For applications recommended for funding, instructions on 
preparation and submission of project documentation will be provided to 
the applicant by the agency contact. Documentation must be submitted to 
CRIS before CSREES funds will be released. Project reports will be 
requested by the CRIS office when required. For more information about
