  7. CREU: Academic-Year-Only Projects Five milestones to monitor progress during academic year - completion of each (except first) triggers a stipend payment. Milestone 1 (early Sept): Project verification and website Milestone 2 (mid-Oct): Mentor provides a brief report on research progress Milestone 3 (late Dec): Students and mentors submit midyear progress reports Milestone 4 (mid-Mar): Mentor provides a brief report on research progress Milestone 4 (mid-May): Student submits final website completes exit survey, and mentor submits final report

  8. CREU: Academic-Year + Summer Five milestones to monitor progress during academic year - but May milestone is a brief progress report, rather than a final report. Two summer milestones Milestone 1 (late June): Mentors provide brief reports on research progress Milestone 2 (mid-Aug): Students submit final websites (archived on CRA) and complete exit survey, and mentors submit final report
