A hard copy (mailed or faxed) is required. as is a plain .TXT file via email to pubs@vard.org or 3.5 in (8.9 cm) nonreturnable disk. If using Macintosh, please so label on the disk. The email/fax combination is preferred.

ORGANIZATION: The text should contain a brief summary of the PURPOSE, METHODOLOGY, PROGRESS, RESULTS (PRELIMINARY or FINAL) over the past year, and (if appropriate) a brief statement of FUTURE PLANS and/or IMPLICATIONS. Recent Publications from This Research should include citations from the previous 2 years only (1997 and 1998), and must be published or accepted for publication. Information on Patents and Awards may also be included. Because of space limitations, we will print no more than 6 citations for any one Progress Report.
