One year after the contract starts, you'll be requested to present your progress virtually to the Scientific Review Committee along with the other awardees from your cycle. Upon project completion, you'll need to submit a final report (template provided) along with final financial documents. Any unused funds must be refunded to Gilead Sciences.
