HOW TO SELECT THE BEST TEMPLATE FOR YOUR FINAL REPORTFrom mid-2009, final report writers have been required to choose one of the attached templates to compile and present their final report to CRDC.

The choice of which template to use would be based on the broad field of interest to which the research relates, however the CRDC program (1, 2 or 3) is the best place to begin in selecting the appropriate template for your report.
