Spring 2003

The module for Spring semester is "grant writing and review", which is designed to enhance the students' professional development and help them finalize their research proposals.   Students will write NSF-style grants, which will then be reviewed by other students in the class, senior graduate students, and faculty.  Students and faculty will then serve on a review panel and make funding recommendations.
