Participants in CCSC200 learn to write grant proposals on matter related projects of their choosing. The Designing Matter Teaching Team offers assistance throughout the semester in the form of proposal writing workshops and individual meetings. Submitted proposals are reviewed by members of the Teaching Team and strong projects are selected for funding, made possible by a generous contribution to the Office of Undergraduate Excellence. Grant recipients and those receiving honorable mention are announced during the final session and at the end of the semester, their project abstracts are posted below.
