Instructions

Please follow instructions below to fill out a milestone Gantt chart ("Gantt Chart" tab) per the requirement in the funding announcement. Refer to the "Example" tab as needed.

For FFO-2021 - Planning for Actionable Science, the anticipated project start date is September 1, 2021. Please align your milestones and tasks in this Gantt chart using the start date proposed in your application

1. Fill out Columns A-E as follows (See example Gantt chart under "Example" tab):

a. Each task (column B) should fit under a project milestone (in bold, column A). Please add additional milestones in column A as needed and add the associated tasks for each milestone in separate rows in column B.

b. Please provide a category of your choosing for each task in column C. Suggestions include (but are not limited to): Data collection, Data Analyses, Data Management, Meeting, Meeting Preparation, Workshop, Outreach, Writing, Reporting/Publications. You may have different task categories under a single milestone (e.g., see milestone 2 in “Example” tab).

c. Please add the start date and completion date for each task in columns D and E, respectively.

Note: Although the template only contains 3 milestones with 3 tasks each, there is no limit to the number of milestones or tasks associated with each milestone.

2. Using the timeline provided in rows 1 through 3, please fill in the appropriate cells for each task using blue that corresponds to the start and completion date provided in columns D and E, respectively. Blue cells can be continuous (e.g., from 9/1/2021-1/31/2022) or on a frequency of your choosing (e.g., bi-monthly or quarterly meetings). Note - years are in fiscal years (FY2021, FY2022).

3. Using the timeline provided in rows 1 through 3, please fill in the appropriate cells for each milestone using green that corresponds to the start and completion date of all of the tasks associated with that milestone. Note - years are in federal fiscal years (FY2021, FY2022).

4. Please save the spreadsheet as "[PI Last Name- Project title keyword- Gantt chart]" and submit the file along with your full application to Grants.gov ahead of the deadline for this funding opportunity
