	Q	132	Produce Progress (Annual) Report	Contribute ISEMP RM&E Tech. Report (Lessons Learned Report)	Since its inception in 2003, reporting for Project #2003-017 has been accomplished through reports prepared by individual contractors, an annual program-wide (project-wide) capstone report that collates the reports from each ISEMP pilot subbasin and the data management team, or through BiOp reporting. Also, in 2006 ISEMP produced the first Three-Year Review document, which provided a retrospective of the work that had occurred over the three years since ISEMP's inception through 2006. (http://www.nwfsc.noaa.gov/research/divisions/cbd/mathbio/isemp/documents.cfm). In 2011 BPA managers (and other entities) expressed the need to have a lessons learned synthesis report covering the entire period of the program. This synthesis report reviewed the relevant F&W Program management questions and RPAs that ISEMP was initiated to help answer. ISEMP will update the lessons learned synthesis report for FY14 by compiling the work of all ISEMP contractors (from each of the three pilot subbasins and the umbrella group), describing ISEMP's progress in FY14 in relation to its proposed goals and objectives, and documents changes in protocols/indicators being monitored that have resulted from data collected over the course of the program. This work will be coordinated by Terraqua Inc., and depends on the collaboration and input of all ISEMP contractors. The 2014 ISEMP Lessons Learned report will consist only of an update to progress and lessons learned that occurred between reporting points (e.g., since last released project-level report). Descriptions of progress and lessons learned will only be included in the ISEMP Lessons Learned Report if not included in the RM&E and RPA reporting.
