Annotated successful proposals

Through the generosity of students who have prepared successful proposals, we include here three annotated proposals. The annotations indicate why certain aspects of the students' proposals were well-received by the committee. You should review them to see what the committee is looking for in an outstanding proposal. The budgets are also annotated to indicate some things you should be sure to do (or not do) as you prepare your budget.

You should also review the set of guidelines we have provided for your use at the link labeled "Guidelines" above. If you have any questions not answered by these two sites, you may direct your questions to individual committee members (preferably through email).
