Format for Final Reports on Research - Poultry Protein & Fat Council

There are four separate parts to the final research report. These are:

  1. Cover Sheet
  2. Industry Summary
  3. Scientific Report
  4. A List of Presentations Made and Reports of Publications.

This Final Report should be loose, not bound. Please submit two copies.
Cover Sheet This single page provides us with a means of filing and identifying the material. The arrangement of this page should be as follows:

  • Title
  • Investigator(s)
  • University (include address)
  • Department
  • Date of Completion of Project
  • Statement: Funded by the U.S. Poultry & Egg Poultry Protein & Fat Council

Industry Summary (one page) This is a very important part of your final report and describes the potential usefulness of the research to the industry. It should briefly explain the conclusions that are drawn from the results. It should include few, if any, scientific tables, but an evaluation of potential in terms of economics, increased quality, better performance, etc. Dollar figures are always valuable. The following format should be used:

  • Briefly describe the problem that was studied;
  • Restate the objectives from the original proposal. The specific goals of the original project as funded by U.S. Poultry & Egg Poultry Protein & Fat Council.
  • In the same order, state briefly the results achieved toward each objective of the project;
  • Impact of the research results for industry. Long- and short-range benefits.

Scientific Report The Scientific Report should be carefully written so as to substantiate the results and be of value to those who may wish to study the details of the experiment. There is no limit on the length of this report. The format is shown below.

  • Materials and methods used in the study. Should be in sufficient detail to allow for repeatability. If new techniques or tests have been developed as part of the objectives of the project, the specific protocol for the technique or test should be included;
  • Results and Discussion;
  • Tables and Figures (can be inserted in the text where appropriate);
  • References.
