## VERY IMPORTANT!

- Your presentation is public and will be posted to the DOE Hydrogen Program website.  You must include the phrase “This presentation does not contain any proprietary, confidential, or otherwise restricted information” on at least the first slide (you may put on all slides if you wish).
- Your presentation may not include any slide that has “Official Use Only” or “Sensitive” or any similar wording, or information which your organization might construe as being in such categories.
- Avoid using copyrighted information – if you use copyrighted information you will have to provide written permission along with your submitted file for it to be accepted by the DOE for the purposes of the Review.

## Guidelines for number of slides(Not a template slide – for information purposes only)

*Most Oral presenters this year will be allotted 30 minutes – 20 minutes for the prepared presentation and 10 minutes for questions.  Thus, presentations should contain a *_*maximum*_* of 15 to 20 *_*presented*_* slides.*
*Except for the time and number of slides requirements, this template applies to Poster presentations as well as Oral presentations.*
*Approx 70% of your presentation/discussion should be devoted to Technical Accomplishments and Future Work*

**Notes:**
Recommended time for this slide:  <2 min

The purpose of this slide is to provide some context for evaluating your project and especially your accomplishments.  

The information in the left column describes the magnitude and timing of the investment in your project.  The information in the right column describes the players and the issues that are to be overcome.  Note that the example includes the Technical Targets the project is addressing.  This is acceptable if it can be done in a concise manner as shown.  

For projects that include multiple partners, please discuss the roles of each and how the overall project is being managed.

## Example Overview Slide

## Objectives

**Describe the objective of your project and what you were to achieve in the work covered by your presentation, i.e., the objective of your work over the past year**
**Your objectives should make it clear what the relevance of your project is to the Hydrogen Program**

**(View the PowerPoint “Notes” page for additional information)**

**Notes:**
Recommended time for Objectives slide(s):  1 min

Purpose:  The objectives should describe what you are trying to do, both over the life of the project and during the current project year.  

 Relevance to the Hydrogen Program includes contribution to achievement of specific targets and milestones. 

## Example Objectives Slide

## Milestones

***Include milestones and go/no-go’s for FY07 and FY08.***

*Example Milestone Slide*

| Month/Year | Milestone or Go/No-Go Decision |
| --- | --- |
| Mar-07 | Go/No-Go decision: Complete correlation of conductivity with polymer structure and morphology. Estimate conductivity limit of tethered base materials.  Determine conductivity of membrane at 0 to 25% RH and the full range of temperature (-40 -120oC) and compare to target of 0.1 S/cm .  Determine conductivity in absence of free solvents. |
| May-07 | Milestone: Complete initial round of MEA fabrication and testing with selected new polymers (1 minimum) completed and preliminary polymer composite characterization.  This provides information on the catalyst behavior under low RH conditions. |
| Nov-08 | Milestone: Design targets defined and measured for conductivity (0.05-0.2S/cm) and gas permeability (< 2mA/cm2 measured with a catalyst coated membrane for both hydrogen and oxygen crossover) for high-temperature, low RH operation without external humidification through the combined cell- and system-level mathematical simulation.   |

## Approach

**Describe overall technical approach using one slide**
**Emphasize unique aspects of approach and de-emphasize discussion of equipment used**
**Use simple statements so that scientists and engineers not expert in your area can readily understand the explanation of your approach**

**(View the PowerPoint “Notes” page for additional information)**

**Notes:**
Recommended time for Approach slide(s):  2 min

Purpose:  Describe the general approach being used to meet the objectives.  Emphasize the unique aspects of the approach and describe how the approach represents an improvement over past efforts, if applicable.  

Unless your objectives include developing instrumentation or test methods, limit the discussion of the instruments being used; save time for discussing the details of the results.

## Example 1 - Approach Slide

## Example 2 - Approach Slide

## Technical Accomplishments/ Progress/Results

**Include a summary (“Take-home”) message on each slide, especially those that contain data**
**Describe the most important technical accomplishments achieved during this reporting period and their significance (from last year’s review to date for existing projects, or progress to date for new projects)**
**Relate the accomplishments to project milestones, barriers, and objectives**
**Benchmark the progress versus FY07 results, if applicable**
**Benchmark the accomplishments against the technical targets (if applicable)**

**(View the PowerPoint “Notes” page for additional information)**

**Notes:**
Recommended time for the Accomplishments slide(s):  12-14 min 

Purpose:  Describe the most important technical accomplishments and results obtained in the last year.  

Whenever possible, describe the significance of the accomplishments by relating the results to the appropriate DOE targets and milestones from the MYPP.  

## Accomplishments/Progress/Results Slides

**Include sufficient slides to explain what was done leading to the technical accomplishments **
**Please limit your slides to the time you have available – you will not be allowed to go over your allotted time**

## Accomplishments Slides (con’t)

**To assist the reviewers evaluating your work, please include bullet comments of the key points on each slide**
**Though your presentation will be in color, it is best to choose colors and data symbols so that they can be easily distinguished in black and white for those reviewers with hardcopies**

## Example 1 - Technical Accomplishments Slide

## Example 2 - Technical Accomplishments Slide

- 2006 status

- 2007 results

## Example 3 - Technical Accomplishments Slide

## Example 4 - Technical Accomplishments Slide

## Future Work

**Explain what it is you plan to do during the rest of this year (FY08) and next year (FY09)**
**Be as specific as possible; avoid blanket statements**
**Highlight upcoming key milestones**
**Address how you will deal with any decision points during that time and any remaining issues**

**(View the PowerPoint “Notes” page for additional information)**

**Notes:**
Recommended time for this slide:  1 min

Purpose:  Describe what will be done in the remainder of this year and in the coming year.

## Summary

**Summarize the key points you wish the audience and reviewers to take away from your presentation**
**For those projects that are working towards specific technical targets, include a **_**Summary Table**_** summarizing key FY08 technical results compared to FY07 results, and the technical targets (see following example slides)**
