2013-14 TRAINEE ANNUAL PROGRESS REPORT
DUEMAY 15, 2014
The purpose of the Annual Progress Report (APR) is to provide a mechanism to record both the student’s and the supervisor’s perspectives regarding the achievements of the past year, to outline the milestones or objectives for the coming year, and to provide Supervisors,Mentors and the NSERC CREATE Program Leader an opportunity to indicate whether progress during the past year was satisfactory, whether certain expectations or targets have been met, or to address problems that have arisen. The APR will be used to determine whether subsequent trainee funding will be approved or whether an incentive award will be granted. The information collected may also be used for reporting purposes to NSERC.
