Scientific Proposals

Catalog description

This course is primarily designed for a faculty mentor to guide students in the development of a research plan for their graduate work or in preparation of a grant application (i.e. an F31 - Kirschstein NRSA). The course is heavily weighted in writing, assessment, and revisions of the research proposals. By the end of the course, students will be expected to have prepared a Research Prospectus or Specific Aims and Research Plan sections of a grant proposal. Student's without an approved research prospectus, part-time extramural thesis students and non-thesis graduate students will develop a research plan or grant application focused on a research project of interest.
