RLC Project Research Proposals, 2008
Each RLC project was to submit a written research proposal on April 25th, 2008. The proposals would then be made available to all program participants to review before the oral presentations on May 23rd. The proposals will also be made available to guests who will come to give us feedback on the proposals and team presentations. During finals week, the proposals will be compiled into a single booklet for easier reading. in the meantime, individual proposals are downloadable here.
