Annual report dates come from the budget period on your award notice. That date is not public, so it is not shown here.

How we got this date

NSF lists this award's end date as 31 August 2028.
NSF rules say the final report is due no later than 120 days after that.
So the final report is due by 29 December 2028.

Abstract

In many insects, fertilization requires thin, needle-shaped sperm to locate and enter a narrow channel on the surface of an egg. Understanding the molecular interactions required for insect fertilization could enable scientists to manipulate the reproduction of species of agricultural or biomedical relevance. To date, however, little is known about how insect sperm take on their needle-like shape and recognize eggs…
