How many persons should I list on the IDR Contact Sheet (ARS-570)?
The only contact who must be listed is your immediate supervisor. You may also wish to include your Center Director, Area Director, or National Program Leader. Selecting other recommended contacts is a matter of common sense, and should be influenced by the nature of your research assignment and the specific accomplishment under consideration. For example, if you are heavily involved in technology transfer, you will want to list contacts in the appropriate action agencies, industries, and/or user groups. Other scientists might wish to list university cooperators or scientists/officials in other Federal agencies or foreign or international agencies. It is always wise to include as many contacts as possible from outside ARS–after all, the purpose is to show how others value your advice and contributions. Restricting contacts to ARS personnel may imply little or no substantive impact. Conversely, the only individual on the ARS-570 the IDR must contact is your immediate supervisor. As par
