Application Process:
1st Round: Candidates should submit an abstract of no more than 300 words along with a C.V. or resume. The abstract should describe the rationale, methods, benefits and anticipated outcomes of the project. The methods should include, but by no means be limited to who the project will serve, how it will be implemented, whether this is a new project or existing project, as well as collaborators on the project. The abstract and C.V./resume will be due by Oct. 25, 2018 at 5:00 pm. Please submit directly to the Best Office – abolgion@bu.edu
2nd Round: Finalists will be selected and notified by Nov. 1, 2018. Finalists will need to provide additional information. This will include a letter of support from the trainee’s primary mentor and, if applicable, from collaborators. A budget and a timeline defining goals/milestones will be required. Note that the limit for this initiative is $5,000, so more than one project can be supported as funds allow. Trainees will be required to present progress of their work in May.
