INSTRUCTIONS FOR COMPLETING SSP REPORTS

This report is to be in two (2) parts

(a)	an abstract

(b)	a descriptive report

Special Studies Program reports are independent documents. Therefore, the abstract and descriptive report should each be completely self-contained, without the need for reference to other documents, and provide sufficient information to form the basis of an assessment of outcomes achieved and the value of the program in general.

The minimum requirements for completing Part 2 of the Special Studies Program report are:

objectives of the Special Studies Program period

outcomes achieved

appropriate detail regarding research undertaken

details of any publications prepared, in preparation or submitted as a result of the program

information about publications and/or research undertaken jointly with one or more colleagues as part of the program

details of activities undertaken (e.g. conferences, workshops, short courses, visits to institutions) and their relevance and value

information about any action planned or implemented within a School, Division or elsewhere at CSU as a direct result of the Special Studies Program

names of major researchers/colleagues contacted during the program and information on the potential usefulness of these contacts to CSU

the relevance to general University policy and programs of trends seen elsewhere during the period of Special Studies Program

the overall value of the Special Studies Program

a statement of external grants and earnings received

a detailed statement of expenditure that reconciles back to the travel grant received (documentation supporting this expenditure should also be attached)

Non-print materials are not normally considered appropriate in the main body of a report because of problems associated with their reproduction for administrative purposes. However, one (1) copy of any such item may be included as supplementary material and will be kept by the Faculty.

This report must be submitted to the Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Academic) within two (2) months of return from Special Studies Program

The abstract and descriptive report are to be submitted through the Head of School and Executive Dean of Faculty, and then forwarded to the Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Academic). The Head of School and/or Executive Dean may offer advice as appropriate.
