General library research/information literacy rubrics:
The Cornell University Library has used versions of the general Annotated Bibliography Rubric (attached), created by Cornell librarian Tony Cosgrave, as an assessment tool; the annotated bibliography is often a good intermediate step, especially for students who are not used to writing full college-level papers.
At a more in depth college level, the RAILS project has research process or information literacy rubrics based on the Association of College and Research Library's information literacy competency standards that can be applied to almost any research project or paper: http://railsontrack.info/rubrics.aspx?catid=7
Science Rubrics:
The Science Rubrics pdf is from a now defunct website run by Winona State University that Cornell's Center for Teaching Excellence (CTE) linked to. It is a package of rubrics for a number of different kinds of science projects, papers, presentations, and reports. I've attached a Word version as well; the formatting is a bit strange but it's much easier to modify.
For an example of the kind of rubric used at Cornell: one of the introductory biology courses, BioG 1105, has used the Enzyme Lab rubric for one of the their first year beginning labs and reports; and the Rubric for Final Report is used for Prof. Alicia-Orta-Ramirez's upper-level FDSC 3950 lab.
There are also general rubric-making tools (for example, Rubistar is a rubric making tool that shows up on a lot of lists: http://rubistar.4teachers.org/index.php)
