Interim is a term meaning "in between", "transitional", or "temporary."

Some common "interim" items:

• An interim report- commonly a report on the status of a project or other assignment that is not yet completed
• An interim document- a transitional draft of a document that is still in the process of being agreed upon. Examples could include an interim business agreement, an interim ceasefire, or an interim constitution.
• An interim official- a person who is temporarily exercising the powers of an office. This usually occurs during periods between the terms of two office holders, or during a brief period in which the office holder is temporarily unable to exercise his authority. For example, a school may have an interim principal, or a nation may have an interim prime minister (see also acting).
