Presenter Instructions

1. Geothermal Technologies Program 2012 Peer Review Presenter Instructions May 7 – 11, 2012 Westminster, CO

2. Presentation Due Dates & Submission Information • Due Dates for Presentations & All Project Materials: March 30, 2012 • Submission Information: • Please email your Presentation, Project Summary and any additional project-related information to: Edward_Eugeni@sra.comandRyan_Hoesly@sra.com • Once materials are submitted they cannot be changed; the schedule will not allow it. Whatever you submit prior to the meeting is the presentation that will be used. You can provide a verbal update.

3. Peer Review • Since the peer reviewers will have access to full review presentations before May 7th 2012, you may assume they have reviewed the slides prior to the meeting and therefore the oral presentation should focus on key elements and communicate the most important points in the limited time provided. • This gives projects the option of submitting additional information as ‘Supplementary Slides’ that will be reviewed but not orally presented. • Please take time to understand the weight of each review criteria and prioritize your oral presentation accordingly. • The peer reviewers may inquire about any slide in your presentation or about information in your project summary or backup materials. • Please note: Any project advancements made after submitting your presentation may be described verbally.

4. Guidelines for time limits Remember to carefully time your presentation: • Presenters will be allowed 15 - 45 minutes varying by project type: • Presenters of EGS Demonstrations and NGDS projects will be given 45 minutes • 30 minutes MAXIMUM for the oral presentation • 15 minutes MINIMUM for Q&A • Presenters of all other fully-reviewed projects will be given 30 minutes • 20 minutes MAXIMUM for the oral presentation • 10 minutes MINIMUM for Q&A • Presenters of project overviews will be given 15 minutes for oral presentation • Q&A will be held at the end of the panel session • Time limits will bestrictly enforced.

5. Guidelines for number of slides Remember to carefully time your presentation: • Presentationsshould contain a maximum (excluding the title page) of: • 20 presented slides for 30 minute presentations (EGS and NGDS projects) • 15presented slides for 20 minute presentations (all other fully reviewed projects) • 12 presented slides for 15 minute presentations (overview projects) • Evaluation and weighting criteria should be considered when planning and organizing your presentation. • This template indicates slides that are mandatory for the oral presentations.

6. Questions about template If you have questions about the template, please contact: Ed Eugeni Sentech, Inc. Edward_Eugeni@sra.com 240.514.2686 Or Rachel Bilyk Sentech, Inc. Rachel_Bilyk@sra.com 202.554.8480 x 2716

7. Template Instructions

8. Template Explanation You must include all mandatory template slides in your presentation. • The template slides directly address the peer reviewers’ evaluation criteria. • GTP recommends that you include at a minimum one slide to address each of the four evaluation criteria. However, you may devote more slides to each criteria, as you feel appropriate. • Express metrics in terms of proposed activity, milestone and outcome. • You can use tables, charts, illustrations or other communication devices instead of bullets on these slides. (For example: a budget table to address resources and productivity.) Video and animation files cannot be supported and should not be included in the oral presentation. • Remember to demonstrate your project’s attributes – simply stating that your project has achieved high-quality accomplishments is insufficient. Specific results are required, including supporting data/information. This slide is for reference only and is not to be included in the presentation

9. Peer Review Evaluation Criteria & Weight: • Principal Investigators should keep in mind the peer review evaluation criteria and weights in the planning and preparation of their presentation. • Reference the “2012 Peer Review Scoring Criteria and Rating Explanation Document.docx” for a description of each criterion and the rating standards being used. • Explanation of project groupings is found on the next slide. This slide is for reference only and is not to be included in the presentation

Principal Investigator (always include) Presenter Name (if not the PI) Organization Track Name May xx, 2012 Insert Project Title Mandatory slide This presentation does not contain any proprietary confidential, or otherwise restricted information.

12. Mandatory Overview Slide • The purpose of this slide is to provide some context for evaluating your project. • Please prepare one overview slide containing the following information: • Timeline • Project start date, project end date and percent complete • For the timeline, please confirm dates with your DOE Headquarters (HQ)/Golden Field Office (GO) manager(s) • Budget • Total project funding, DOE share, awardee share (cost share amount), total spent (% spent) • For the budget, please confirm values with your DOE HQ/GO manager(s) Mandatoryslide

13. Project Management/Coordination • Summarize in one slide management activities or approaches, for example: • Schedule • Application of resources and leveraged funds/budget/spend plan • How is this project integrated with other projects in the program? • Coordination with industry & stakeholders • Describe any variance from original project plans/schedule and the corrective action(s) taken or planned. Mandatoryslide

18. Data Sharing The world is saturated with early efforts. More productive science and engineering will only occur when research and engineering results can be shared and replicated. NSF data management guidelines move government researchers in that direction by requiring data management plans for funded government research. DOE’s Geothermal Technologies Program requires that all projects provide data to the DOE Geothermal Data Repository for linking to the National Geothermal Data System. ___________________________ • Describe the type of data that is being generated from your project and how it is being used and managed. Examples of data include: numerical data sets, reports, images, maps, etc. • Describe your efforts-to-date to provide your project data to the “DOE Geothermal Data Repository” - currently under development by Boise State University. The DOE Geothermal Data Repository will be made public through the National Geothermal Data System, or retained in the DOE Geothermal Data Repository as business confidential, where applicable. Mandatoryslide

19. Future Directions • Describe deployment strategy or expected outcome of this effort. Discuss future research, development or deployment needs. • Explain key activities for the rest of FY2012 and to project completion • Be as specific as possible; avoid blanket statements. • Address how you will deal with any decision points during that time and any remaining issues, including any alternative development pathways under consideration to mitigate risk of not achieving milestones. • Include the planned milestones and go/no-go decisions for FY12 and beyond and current status of working towards them. Mandatoryslide
