- Use the dropdown lists to assign your program areas and condition changes. Program Areas are broad subject matters covered by UC ANR's Program Team umbrella structure. You may wish to view the Program Areas crosswalk to UC ANR Programmatic Footprint Maps to determine on which maps you will be displayed. The Condition Changes webpage has a complete listing of the condition changes.
- Be a lumper, not a splitter: Consider selecting at most 3 condition changes. It is highly recommended that you select an existing condition change from the list. Only you will see your user-defined condition changes in Project Board. ANR will periodically review user-defined condition changes and modify as needed.
- Only use the "administration" program area if you have an administrative appointment such as County Director, Statewide Program Director, Research and Extension Center Director, etc. You may select a few condition changes toward which your administrative appointment contributes and/or create a generic, user-defined condition change such as "REC director administration."
- New: Effort spent adapting programs in light of COVID-19 and shelter-in-place guidelines do not need to be reported separately. For example, if you spent significant effort adapting nutrition education programs for remote delivery, continue to report that effort as contributing to the condition changes, “Improved health for all.” Only use the “administrative” program area if you have an administrative appointment, as stated above.
- Report your effort as 100% of your Cooperative Extension appointment, even if you do not work an entire fiscal year, have a split appointment, or have less than a 1.0 appointment. Analysts will prorate to your actual appointment as needed.
- Analysts will prorate to your actual appointment as needed.
- When you are finished, click on the blue Submit in the Condition Change FTE module. You can re-submit at anytime and it will be reflected on any live programmatic maps.
- Note: The annual call for FTE reporting is conducted May/June and due July 1st. When you receive the next call for reporting, you can revise your response to reflect the state fiscal year that ended. in the meantime, thank you for taking the time to share your planned efforts.
About Condition Changes
The UC ANR condition changes were developed in 2017 through a participatory process that engaged academics and program staff across the ANR network. To learn more about how UC ANR uses and how you can use them, you can visit this Condition Changes webpage.
Project Board Due Dates
Each year, academics will receive a call for reporting in mid-May for the July 1st due date (FTE only). This is separate from the annual report CE academics submit in Project Board to update themes, projects, and activities. Due dates will always be updated on this Project Board Home Page. However, Project Board is open year-round so you can begin reporting anytime! This Project Board User Manual include an Introduction section and an Annual Reporting Checklist section that you can use to begin reporting.
