AGENDA

Participants will spend mornings in instructional sessions with Summer Institute faculty. Early afternoons may be spent in instructional sessions or working on research proposals. Participants will re-convene in late afternoons to discuss cross-cutting issues and share the progress of their work. Specifically, participation in this institute will include the following:

  • instructional sessions with Institute faculty;
  • discussion of cross-cutting issues;
  • discussing and receiving feedback on iterations of the proposal under development; and
  • development and refinement of a draft research proposal

In order to achieve the objectives of the 2010 Summer Institute, it is expected that participants will work on their proposals during the evening hours.

Participants are STRONGLY ENCOURAGED to bring a laptop to participate in the Summer Institute.
