I have yet to have to do one of these. Has anyone encountered one

<p class=MsoNormal>All – <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>We’ve been asked about the program outcomes report
required by NSF. Hopefully you’re already aware of this, but it’s a
relatively-new requirement. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>If you have PIs who received a new NSF grant, or an
amendment to an existing NSF grant, on or after January 2010, they are *<b>required</b>*
to submit a second final report for their award. The Public Outcomes
Report is intended for public consumption with different requirements and a
different submission process than the final Fastlane technical report. The
report is listed separately from the Fastlane final technical report on award
notices.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>The attached document provides some information about the
report. In addition, NSF’s website lists FAQ’s here:<o:p></o:p></p>
