All HSK grant and fellowship recipients must adhere to the following requirements: an interim progress report, personal statement, and financial statement must be submitted one month prior to the end of year one, and the second year of funding is contingent upon a satisfactory year one progress report; and a final progress report, personal statement, and financial report must be submitted three months after the end of year two (project end date), and the final quarterly payment of a grant or fellowship award will not be made until HSK has received all required year two reports.

• Progress Report
  Summarize the main focus of your research and clearly state your findings. Specify how the research results met the objectives established in your application. This report should include, but is not limited to, answers to the following questions: Did you meet all of the goals you set out to achieve? If not, why not? What is the impact of your research on the current understanding of pediatric cancer? What further research remains to be done? Should be two to six (2-6) pages in length.
• Personal Statement
  How has the funding provided by HSK helped your overall professional growth, i.e., journal submissions, career opportunities, new research focus? Do you plan on continuing within the field of pediatric cancer research? Has this grant/fellowship lead to other funding opportunities? Have you had the opportunity to report your findings at professional meetings? Should be one to four (1-4) pages in length.
• Financial Statement
  Give a breakdown by category (i.e., personnel, supplies, etc.) of how HSK funds were utilized. This document should be filed by the University's Office of Research Administration or other comparable source.

Publications
The awarded fellowship must be publicized by the recipient institution, either in its own publications (student newspaper, alumni newsletter, institutional magazine, etc.), or in a local newspaper, with attribution to HSK. Please forward copies of these news articles to HSK's Executive Director, Cynthia M. Duncan, upon publication. Recipients should also send a reprint of all research published as a result of their HSK award.
