# Add Multi-State & Integrated Project Details

Add multi-state and integrated project details to a quarterly effort record in PEARS.

The Multi-State & Integrated section of a quarterly effort record captures information about collaborative projects that span state lines or integrate research with Extension work.

<details>

<summary>GLOSSARY: Multi-State &#x26; Integrated programming</summary>

* **Multi-state programming** — Any effort in which you worked with an agricultural experiment station, the Agricultural Research Service, or a college or university from another state to solve problems that concern more than one state.
* **Integrated programming** — Programming integrated with institutional research, such as a research effort or partnership with the state's Agricultural Research Service, agricultural experiment stations within the state, or agricultural departments on campus.
