From Problem to Proposal: Elements of Successful Applications

This workshop discusses strategies for turning a compelling research question into a winning research proposal. We begin by discussing the scope and feasibility of undergraduate research projects, then learn how to convince readers of your project’s interest and value by crafting informative, concise, and complete statements of background, methodology, timeline, budget, and plans for sharing results.

These workshops, jointly sponsored by the University Scholars Program and the Office of Undergraduate Research and Fellowships, are open to all Northeastern University undergraduates. Students must attend “Minding the Gap,” “Finding Faculty Mentors,” and “From Problem to Proposal” in order to be eligible to apply for a 2017 Scholars Independent Research Fellowship or Summer Independent Research Fellowship (SIRF). Students whose SIRF projects will include the use of human subjects or vertebrate animals are also required to attend “Ethical Conduct of Research.”
