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 2029.
NSF rules say the final report is due no later than 120 days after that.
So the final report is due by 29 December 2029.

Abstract

In many animals, including insects, coloration is formed by the animal’s nanostructure, which bends and reflects light, rather than by pigments. Studying how nature creates such so-called structural colors could provide inspiration for new optical materials. However, the development of nanostructures is poorly understood. For example, how do cells coordinate to form the structural colors found in nature? This…
