Abstract
The Project Abstract provides a description of the data set collected by this Project. The abstract will be especially helpful to researchers who access these data through the retrieval systems. Enter an abstract that is a paragraph or more that describes the objectives, key aspects, design or methods of study. Also, helpful is the area of study, types of samples collected, and beginning and ending dates.

Special Project or Program Information & NWQL ASR Defaults
The sections "Special Project or Program Information" and "NWQL ASR" Defaults" are provided for a Project to :
- Select a USGS Program (such as "National Water Quality Assessment;" "Cooperative Water Program;" "Federal Benchmark Sites)
- List any cooperators with the project
- For "National Water Quality Assessment program (NAWQA) Projects fill out values used on NWQL ASRs.
- "NWQL ASR" Defaults" is conditionally displayed when "National Water Quality Assessment" is selected in the Program selection box

Figure. "Special Project or Program Information" section. NWQL ASR Defaults is displayed when "National Water Quality Assessment" is selected in the Program selection box. Here you can fill out values that will be used when you create ASRs for the National Water Quality Lab (NWQL).
Default BioData Lab Order Information
Use this section to specify values that will automatically be filled in for you when you create Lab Orders.
