I'm writing a report and I need to write an abstract for the chapter after the chapter title in the same page. How can I do this?

It seems that use of titling http://www.ctan.org/pkg/titling is a way to do it
Code
\documentclass[notitlepage]{report}
\usepackage[left=1in, right=1in, top=1in, bottom=1in]{geometry}
\usepackage{titling}
\usepackage{lipsum}
\pretitle{\begin{center}\Huge\bfseries}
\posttitle{\par\end{center}\vskip 0.5em}
\preauthor{\begin{center}\Large\ttfamily}
\postauthor{\end{center}}
\predate{\par\large\centering}
\postdate{\par}
\title{TITLE}
\author{NAME and ID}
\date{\today}
\begin{document}
\maketitle
\thispagestyle{empty}
\begin{abstract}
\lipsum[1]
\end{abstract}
\section*{First bit}
If you want to ramp your text straight onto the title page, start the text at
something that does not cause a page break, like a section. Here's a handy
place to introduce some of your woofy conventions, like quotes in equations.
\chapter{New Page}
A new chapter starts a new page.
\end{document}
I would set the abstract as an adjustwidth block (from changepage) which allows you to set the left/right indent as needed:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{lipsum}% Just for this example
\usepackage{changepage}
\renewenvironment{abstract}
{\setlength{\parindent}{0pt}% No paragraph indent
\begin{adjustwidth}{12.7mm}{12.7mm}
{\centering \textbf{\abstractname}\par}\medskip}
{\end{adjustwidth}}
\begin{document}
\noindent
\rule{12.7mm}{1pt}\hfill\rule{12.7mm}{1pt}% Just for this
\begin{abstract}
\lipsum[1]
\textbf{Keywords}: Your keywords here
\end{abstract}
\lipsum[2]
\end{document}

You can't just use the regular
abstractenvironment provided by thereportdocument class, since it puts it on a page of its own. However, a slight modification to that environment (or creating a similar one without the conditional page breaking) - provided below aschapabstract- works without problem:changepagealso provides theadjustwidthenvironment (where you specify the left/right indent), which allows for setting of contents in a narrower context. These two could be combined, if needed.
