However, additional information that couldnot be pre-populated must be filled out for PI(s), co-PI(s) andParticipants in order to successfully complete and submit the report.Some significant collaborators or contacts within the recipient'sorganization may not be covered by "What people have worked onthe project?" Likewise, some significant collaborators or contactsoutside the recipient's organization may not be covered under "Whatother organizations have been involved as partners?"For example, has there been any: collaborations with others within the recipient’s organization;especiallyo interdepartmental or interdisciplinary collaborations;o collaborations or contact with others outside theorganization; ando collaborations or contacts with others outside theUnited States or with an international organization.It is likely that many recipients will have no other collaborators orcontacts to report.
